Financial Aid

Welcome

At Olive-Harvey College, the Financial Aid Office works closely with students and families to provide financial assistance in the form of grants, loans, and work-study from federal and state resources. The Financial Aid Office is your guide and resource to making college affordable.        

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available at www.studentaid.gov, is used to apply for federal, state, and college-based financial aid.
You should complete your FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1st (for the following school year) in order to maximize your award eligibility.
Applying early for financial assistance is the key to unlocking the resources you may need, as some aid operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
