2024-2025 Financial Aid Plans Available

Financial Aid Plans for the 2024-2025 academic year are now available to students who have completed the FAFSA.   Students will receive a personal email notification when their aid offer is ready or if outstanding requirements must be met to finalize aid.  After significant delays from the recent FAFSA changes, the ASC team worked hard to re-program and integrate the changes into our systems.  ASC is among the first of a small group of SUNY schools who have started releasing financial aid offers to students.
