Financial Aid

Welcome to Alma College financial aid! Be sure to view the announcements and calendar below. Check out the right side of our page for more detailed information about how we can help you.

Student Debt Relief Plan

Please sign up for Federal Student Loan Borrower Updates. This will provide the most current information on the program and next steps.

You can see your federal loan borrowing history and any Pell grant awards you may have received by logging into studentaid.gov.

Borrowers may be eligible to receive relief automatically as their income data is already available to the Department of Education. For those borrowers without existing income data an application will be available in September. More details will be released by the Department of Education in the coming weeks so please sign up to receive these updates.

Final extension of the student loan repayment pause extended through December 31, 2022.
