Financial Aid

We recognize that a college education is a significant investment: an investment of money, certainly, but also of trust.

The Student Financial Services Office stands ready to assist in helping you identify and apply for financial aid to make a Houghton education affordable.

Please contact our office at anytime with questions or concerns about financing your college education.
