Financial Aid
In response to the changing financial aid landscape, the new NJ legislation around high school competition of FAFSA and the delays that families are experiencing, 小米视频’s Office of Financial Aid is launching FAFSA Fridays. From February 16th through May 31st, Financial Aid will be available for any walk-in, call or virtual appointments to help students, families, guidance counselors, and all other community members learn about and complete the new FAFSA form. The Office of Financial Aid is located on the second floor of the Academic Complex in the E-Wing Room E-210. The FAFSA Friday appointment hours are on Friday from 10am to 4pm. You call us at 201-684-7549 or email finaid@ramapo.edu to schedule an appointment or you can stop by the office.
Education after high school costs time, money, and effort. It鈥檚 a big investment, but well worth it. At 小米视频 of New Jersey, we help students manage their costs through a combination of federal, state, and institutional funds.
About 67 percent of Ramapo鈥檚 students receive more than $40 million in aid. This aid includes grants 鈥 funds which the students are awarded but don鈥檛 have to pay back 鈥 and loans, which must be repaid. Students also can receive a work-study job to earn money to help pay for school.
The Office of Financial Aid is now scheduling appointments for students who need to conduct business in person.听 Appointments can be made through email at听finaid@ramapo.edu or through our chat located on our website. In person appointments are available Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm. However, we are confident that most questions can be handled without in-person visits via a phone call, a Webex meeting or email.
If you or your family are experiencing financial hardships or family circumstances have changed please email or call the Office of Financial Aid so we can discuss your situation and the possibility of a re-evaluation of your financial aid award.
