Payment deadlines
It's important to note that if you've accepted financial aid awards, these amounts will appear as credits on your billing statements. You may also receive billing statements at other times during the academic year to reflect adjustments and 'Other Fees'.
Additionally, there are specific considerations for Federal Parent Loans (PLUS). These loan proceeds cannot be applied to student accounts until 10 days before the first day of classes for the loan disbursement eligibility period. Half of the annual parent loan proceeds will be allocated to fall charges, and the other half to spring charges.
Make sure to review the cost of attendance information for the academic year, which is available online. This information will help you plan and ensure you meet the payment deadlines.

Financial aid
The purpose of financial aid at Skidmore College is to give students who could not otherwise afford it the opportunity to attend the college. The college offers scholarships, grants, loans, and/or work awards to students, with approximately 50% of students receiving some form of financial aid.
Students can apply for financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or CSS Profile, and can receive guidance from the college on how to apply. The college also provides information on other types of aid, such as loans, grants, and work-study programs.
The total cost of attending Skidmore College is $85,120, including tuition, food and housing, books and supplies, and transportation and personal expenses. The net price after financial aid and scholarship funds is $32,720 for the average student receiving need-based aid. Need-based aid is determined by the student's or family's demonstrated ability to pay, with the college meeting 98% of its students' financial aid needs.
Students who receive financial aid will have memo credits for planned financial aid reflected on their billing statements. Student employment awards will not appear as credits on billing statements as they are paid separately.
