Gannon University

We are dedicated to ensuring your Gannon education is both exceptional and affordable. Our aid considers a holistic view of each student, recognizing everything from demonstrated need and financial strength, to academic and athletic accomplishments and outstanding talents.

The FAFSA is the form Gannon University and most colleges use to determine eligibility for federal, state and university financial aid, including state grants, the Pell Grant and Federal Direct Student Loans. File online at studentaid.gov and include Gannon’s FAFSA code 003266 so your information is sent to us. The FAFSA opens each year on October 1 and must be on file before need based financial aid can be finalized.

Planning for college starts with understanding the full picture and knowing what expenses to expect. Along with tuition, it is helpful to consider housing, meals, books, supplies, transportation, technology and other everyday needs. Looking at these costs together can help you compare colleges, explore available resources and create a realistic plan that works for you.

There are many resources available to help make college more affordable and manageable. Scholarships, grants, financial aid, work-study programs and other forms of assistance can help reduce the amount you and your family may need to cover. Exploring these options early can help you better understand what support may be available and create a financial plan that works for you.

After scholarships, grants, financial aid and other assistance are applied, you may still have a remaining balance. Reviewing options such as savings, payment plans, work-study income and student loans can help you decide what works best for your situation. Exploring these choices early can make it easier to create a manageable plan and feel prepared for the year ahead.

Our Financial Aid team is here to answer your questions and help you understand your options. Whether you need assistance with financial aid, scholarships, payment planning, or next steps, please contact us by phone, email, or visit our office at Courthouse Commons.
