Funding Your Education

Members of the Financial Aid Team are ready to answer your questions and to work closely with you as you begin the process of applying for financial aid. Contact the Financial Aid Team at any time for assistance. Plymouth State University awards financial aid to students based on need or through merit scholarships for their academic or performing achievements. Demonstrated need is based on your family’s income and net assets for the previous year as reported on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). There are many types of financial aid. Financial aid is usually awarded in a “package” that combines scholarship, loan and campus job. About 80 percent of all Plymouth students receive some form of financial assistance.

In accordance with NCAA Division III rules, Plymouth State does not offer athletic scholarships.
