Financial Aid Information

Hillsdale College bills students by semester. Through Self Service Student Finance you will find actual charges for the upcoming semester based on your pre-registration schedule, housing arrangement, and meal plan. It takes into account one-time fees, modifications to room or board, and tuition rate adjustments based on credit hours over 17 or fewer than 12.

Please note that the Hillsdale College Financial Aid Offer Letter evidences the financial aid sources for which students have qualified. Financial aid award amounts assume full-time (12-17 credit hours) enrollment. Students that are planning to be at part-time status should contact our office.

Please compare your student account against your Financial Aid Offer Letter for the applicable semester.

To reconcile any remaining differences, please review the details below.
