Merit Scholarships

Put your high school studies and extracurricular activities to work for you. These are based on qualifications such as your GPA, test scores, recommendations, and area of college studies.

Need-Based Grants

Elmira College, government entities, and private organizations offer grants based on financial need. While each has different qualifications, most ask students to provide their financial background and academic information. Talk to our Office of Financial Aid for help completing applications.

Work Opportunities

The work-study program gives students valuable work experience while earning a wage to use towards college expenses. Students work in more than 20 different offices on Elmira's campus, such as the library, admissions, and campus life. Work-study jobs are funded by Elmira College and the federal government, and are offered on availability.

Federal work study positions are based on financial need and are given hiring priority the first two weeks of the academic year.

Limited college work aid positions are available to all students. These positions are not based on financial need, but on specialty skill sets (i.e., tutors, etc.).

For questions or clarification on any position, contact the Office of Career Services at eccareers@elmira.edu or to the contact person on the specific job posting of interest.

Loans

There are many different types of loans available to Elmira College students. A loan is money that you borrow and that must be paid back with interest. Depending on the source of the loan, the interest rate may be different, so it's important to make sure you understand the payment terms of the loan. Many loans do not start coming due until after graduation.

Payment Options

When it comes to paying your Elmira College tuition bills, you've got options that will help you keep up to date and avoid notices or late fees. For Fall and Winter terms, you can utilize Nelnet for a payment plan. Contact the Business Office for Spring/Summer options.
