Welcome!

Welcome to the Office of Financial Aid's website!!!

We hope these pages are filled with as much information as you need to feel comfortable navigating through our office's policies and procedures not only as a prospective student but as a current student as well. 

Meeting the costs of education is a challenge for most students and families.  It is our hope that the information presented on our site will provide you with the tools necessary to apply for all sources of available aid and answer many of the questions students and families face while formulating college plans.

Thank you so much for taking the time to peruse the information available to you online.  If there is something missing from our web content that you would like us to add or didn't understand some content already provided, please contact us at  finaid@providence.edu.  We are more than happy to help and look forward to working closely with you and your family.

Sincerely,

Sandra J. Oliveira
