Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Team at PSU is committed to assisting qualified students who are unable to meet their entire educational expenses from their own and their family's resources. Financial Aid is awarded to students based on need or through merit scholarships for their academic or performing achievements. The three basic types of aid available are scholarships and grants, loans and work opportunities.

 

With over 100 years of combined experience, our team continuously strives to provide the highest level of customer service.

 

The Financial Aid Office is committed to utilizing a paperless process for notifying all students of their financial aid eligibility.  Through the use of our student portal, students have 24/7 access to all financial aid information. We encourage you to check your myPlymouth account frequently for updates.
