Financial Aid
How do I apply?
Everyone must complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). The application is free and you will need to provide information on your income (or your parents) for the previous calendar year. You will need Sierra College’s school code, 001290, for your FAFSA.
Your financial aid information will be in your mySierra student account under the Financial Aid tab approximately 7 to 10 business days after you complete the FAFSA.
Get an estimate of your federal financial aid eligibility using FAFSA4caster, and understand your options for paying for college.

Financial Assistance Programs for Sierra College Students
Financial aid refers to a variety of federal, state, and local programs that help students who might otherwise be unable to attend school.
Although the primary responsibility for meeting college costs rests with the student and his/her family, many families have limited resources and are unable to meet the cost of post-secondary education. For this reason, financial aid programs have been established to assist students who can document their financial need.

These all start with your FAFSA! Students must repay educational loans. Grants, work-study earnings and scholarships need not be repaid.
