Financial Aid
For U.S. citizens and permanent residents, the options for financial assistance include federal loans, grants, and scolarships. Awards vary from year to year depending on the number of applicants, their financial need, and available resources. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for financial aid at the same time they apply to Simmons.
A complete application includes the Simmons Application for Graduate Financial Aid, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and any additional supporting documents that may be required. Priority deadlines for financial aid application are March 1 for the fall and October 1 for the spring.
