STEP 1: Fill out the FAFSA

Complete the FAFSA form after October 1. Gordon's code is 002153.

ACCESS FAFSA

The FAFSA provides Gordon with an assessment of your family’s financial strengths. Financial aid awards are based on information from the FAFSA.

Gordon College no longer requires financial aid applicants to complete a supplemental form.

STEP 2: Receive your Financial Aid Award

Beginning in mid-January, awards will be sent on a rolling basis to tell you how much aid you qualify for—including scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study.
