Excelsior College Financial Aid

Most Excelsior College students who are enrolled in an eligible degree program receive some form of financial aid.

Excelsior's financial aid counselors work hard to simplify the financial aid process. We collaborate with our students to help them:

• Identify financial aid programs.
• Meet application deadlines.
• Complete applications and financial forms.

Help is just a call or a click away. To speak with a financial aid counselor, contact our financial aid office toll-free at (855) 323-9235. Or use our online financial aid resources to explore independently.
