Change in parent or guardian's financial status

We believe that an Emerson College education is a worthwhile investment. We hope that the resources provided on this site will give prospective and current students and their families the tools and information necessary to make an Emerson College education possible.

Through federal, state and institutional financial aid programs, payment plan options and our financial education program, Money Matters, we strive to help families manage the cost of a quality education. It is our goal to provide the services needed to make Emerson College a financial reality for students. The Financial Aid staff, in conjunction with the Office of Student Accounts and the Office of Student Success, is committed to working together to find the best solution for a student’s situation and needs.

We are aware that the cost of higher education can place a burden on students and families. Billing and Student Accounts is dedicated to helping you and your family manage your student account as easily as possible. Please explore the subpages for additional information.

Students may encounter obstacles or difficulties associated with college life—academic, financial, personal, interpersonal, or wellness—or simply seek greater connection and support. Emerson has fantastic resources designed to address the holistic needs of students.

The Office of Student Success helps students to explore their options, navigate campus systems, and connect to services, supports, and each other. And sometimes, we just listen.

College is a time filled with many changes, transition, excitement, and challenges. Most students, at one time or another, experience various personal, emotional, and/or interpersonal concerns. During these times, it can help to reach out for support from friends, family, academic advisors, spiritual supports, and professional counseling. At ECAPS, we strive to help students build on strengths and address these concerns in ways that allow them to make the best of their college experience. We offer free and confidential individual, couples, and group counseling, as well as consultation and workshops.
