Check your Financial Aid To Do List:

The financial aid "To Do List" displays documents that are needed to complete your financial aid application. *Your Applicant ID number (app08-xxx##) and password are required to log in* If you have not applied for aid, or if you have submitted all items, you will receive a message that you have "no current to do items" to complete. There may be delays in information updates at heavy processing times (usually around deadline dates), so please check back periodically.

We are still accepting Regular Decision financial aid applications for the 2008-2009 academic year. Please submit application materials as soon as you are able to do so.

No matter what your family's financial situation is, Cornell University provides a wide range of financing options to help make education affordable. Our Financial Aid staff will work closely with you and your family to put the cost of a Cornell education within your reach.

We encourage all students who think they need aid to apply. For families with demonstrated financial need, we develop financial aid packages that may include grants, employment, and loans.

Other non-aid financing options are also available such as loans from outside sources, federal parent loans, and Cornell's interest free installment payment plan, which is administered by the Office of the Bursar.
