F12.1 Financial Aid Letter

Effective Date: June 20, 2023
Last Reviewed: June 20, 2023


Purpose and Scope:

The Student Financial Assistance Office’s mission is to assist students in finding the resources most appropriate to their circumstances that will enable them to afford a Stonehill education. The Office seeks to accomplish this through the expertise of our staff, significant outreach efforts, and timely publications and notices.

Students receive financial aid award letters electronically through the Admission Portal for new / perspective students and MyHill for existing enrolled students.

POLICY

Prior to the start of the academic year, the Office shall disseminate, to all eligible students, a letter describing the financial aid awarded or expected to be awarded to the student.

PROCEDURE

Students should check their name and address as shown on the letter and correct if necessary. If the residency status reported on the Financial Aid Letter is incorrect students should contact the Office of Admissions if an entering student and the Office of Residence Life if a returning student.

The aid listed is awarded and administered by the Stonehill College Financial Aid/Scholarship Committee, a state or Federal agency, or a private organization, solely or in combination.

Students are not obligated to accept any or all of the aid offered and may decline any award they wish to refuse. If students would like to accept less than an amount offered, they should decline the original amount and email Student Financial Assistance the amount they wish to retain.

The Financial Aid Letter reflects the conditional value of the student’s award for the academic year.
