This publication is the guide to the need-based financial aid application process at Elizabethtown College. All prospective students that have APPLIED to the college are automatically mailed the application instructions.

Financing your Education

Our office mails this four page brochure when we send students their financial aid award letters. This brochure contains three financing options that families may utilize to supplement the student's financial aid award. Details and suggestions on 10-month payment plans, PLUS Loans (parent loans), and SallieMae Signature Loans (student loans) are provided. The publication also contains "Billing Guidelines" designed to help families gain an understanding of how Elizabethtown College handles our billing procedures. Families are also encouraged to use the "bottom line cost" (price less financial aid and scholarships) when comparing the cost of Elizabethtown with the cost of other colleges.
