Smith College is committed to providing an outstanding education to qualified students from all economic backgrounds. Financial aid awards are determined each academic year, and it is necessary to submit new forms annually. It is critical that if you intend to apply for aid, you meet all deadlines. You are encouraged to submit all required documents as early as possible.
We are here to help you through the application process in any way we can. Our preferred method of correspondence is email. Please send questions to sfs@smith.edu, and be sure to include the student’s full name and Smith ID (or date of birth) with your correspondence.
