How to Apply for Financial Aid

At Hartwick, we are here to help you and your family through the steps of applying for financial aid.

APPLYING FOR AID — AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR FUTURE

There are several different ways to apply for financial aid depending on what type of student you are.

Applying for Financial Aid

New Students (U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents)

All students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents in a degree-seeking, aid eligible program should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Hartwick uses your FAFSA information to determine eligibility for federal and institutional need-based aid. The Hartwick FAFSA school code is: 002729

For students that are New York State residents they should apply for the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) Application. The Hartwick TAP school code is: 0285

To maximize eligibility for financial aid it is strongly suggested that students submit their FAFSA as early as possible. The priority filing date for new students is March 1.

The financial aid deadlines are:
Fall Term: August 1
Spring Term: January 1

FAFSA APPLICATION

For Continuing Students (U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents)

A renewal FAFSA is necessary for each year you continue at Hartwick. The priority filing date is May 1.
