Paying for College & Financial Aid

Paying for college and navigating the financial aid process can be scary and confusing. Georgia Southern wants to be as transparent as possible with the cost of attendance and our staff want to help. You should be sure to plan ahead with your family on how to pay for college.

Applying for financial aid isn't as complex as you might imagine. For a step-by-step checklist, visit the Office of Financial Aid's website. Start the process by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available October 1st for the following fall term. You should complete the FAFSA by February 1st for fall semester aid. Contact Georgia Southern's Office of Financial Aid at (912) 478-5413 or finaid@georgiasouthern.edu.

If you would like to receive a 1098-T form after each year of enrollment to claim an education credit on your (or your parents') tax return, you must provide a social security number on this application.
