    You can't make a plan if you don't know the numbers! You can view your costs, expected family contribution, and any scholarships and grants at myPugetSound.edu.

Our Student Financial Services team is here to help you understand costs and financial aid through all four years of college—schedule an appointment anytime!

    There are many ways to pay—you can find out about payment plans and more here, or contact our Student Financial Services team to discuss what is best for you. Make sure you have an arrangement in place no later than August 15!

Working on Campus

Getting a campus job can be a fun and worthwhile way to help pay for college.

If you qualify for federal or state work-study, we'll send you an email in June with information about the program and the link to apply by July 15. More information is available.

If you’re not eligible for federal or state work-study, you can apply for jobs on and off campus through Handshake. Fall jobs will be posted (and you'll get access to the Handshake system) just in time for your arrival at Passages orientation. Check out Career and Employment Services if you'd like support planning ahead.
