FINANCIAL AID

Explore Your Financial Aid Options

A substantial amount of student aid comes from scholarships and grants available directly through the College. This type of aid can significantly reduce your cost of attendance. Utica College has more than 300 scholarships and achievement awards. We also offer a selection of tuition payment plans. 

Explore UC scholarships, grants, and awards

To get the aid process in motion, file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. [Note: Now you can file your FAFSA as early as October 1.] Use this application to apply for all kinds of federal student aid, including Pell Grants, various types of student loans, and student employment aid.Submitting your FAFSA also begins the process of determining your eligibility for receiving direct aid from Utica College. Please note:

  • The FAFSA opens each year on October 1.
  • Utica College has established no deadline or priority date for the FAFSA to be completed. Applicants may file on a rolling basis.
  • Prospective students will receive notification of their financial aid award package two weeks after being accepted into Utica College and filing the FAFSA. 

What you will need for your FAFSA:

  • Utica College's federal school code: 002883
  • Your social security number and your parents’ social security numbers (if needed)
  • Your driver’s license (if you have one)
  • Your alien registration number (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
  • Last year’s federal income tax forms, information about untaxed income (such as Social Security, TANF, or veterans benefits), and information about savings, investments and farm assets for yourself, your spouse (if you’re married), and your parents (if you’re including parent information)

Residents of New York: Apply for N.Y. State student aid at http://www.tap.hesc.ny.gov.

New York State offers several options for state residents, including:

  • the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP),
  • the Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP), and
  • the Collegiate Science and Technology Program (CSTEP).
  • New York's Enhanced Tuition Award program, which offers up to an additional $6,000 in tuition assistance to New York state residents.

Learn more about New York State student aid at http://www.tap.hesc.ny.gov

Note: UC’s TAP code is 1022 (for undergraduates).
