Financial Aid - Scholarships
|
Students are encouraged to gather financial aid and scholarship information that is applicable for their own circumstances and college application process. Students should not necessarily let the price of a particular college dissuade them from applying for admission. Many financial aid programs exist to help you meet all college costs: tuition, fees, books, room and board, personal expenses, and transportation. The expected family contribution will remain fairly constant regardless of the cost of a particular college or university. The difference between family contribution and total cost will be made up in financial aid (i.e.,grants, loans, work-study).
You may want to begin your search for financial aid with the Local Scholarship Listing compiled by the Career Resource Center staff. All Baker students are encouraged to apply for one of the many scholarships offered by the Baldwinsville Community Scholarship Foundation. The NYS Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) also provides information on everything related to financial aid including details on the NYS Excelsior and STEM scholarships.
The most valuable financial aid resources are the financial aid professionals at local colleges and universities. Many welcome inquiries during the application process. It is the student’s responsibility to contact financial aid offices, complete and file financial aid and scholarship applications, meet all deadlines, and supply the necessary information.
