What happens if I miss the February 15th priority filing date?

Are there jobs available on campus?

Students who apply for financial aid may be eligible for Federal Work-Study, which is a student employment program funded by the federal government and Emmanuel College. Students may work up to twelve hours per week and are paid on a bi-weekly basis. On- and off-campus Federal Work-Study jobs are posted on Emmanuel College's Career Connect (EC3).

Student employment jobs are also available on campus for students who do not apply for financial aid or who do not qualify for Federal Work-Study.

Are there options available to pay the balance after financial aid?

Many families cover the balance due after financial aid utilizing the College's interest free ten month payment plan or private alternative student or parent loans.

Emmanuel College awards financial aid to students based on an evaluation of the student's and the student's family's ability to pay for his or her education.
