The Financial Aid Office is pleased to announce that Shorter College now offers a comprehensive online financial aid system.

Students may access the Shorter College online Financial Aid System at https://finaid.shorter.edu. After receiving an assigned pin number from the financial aid office, students should enter their SSN in the Web ID field.

Note:

*New students will receive their PIN in their printed PIN notification letter.
*Returning students will receive their PIN in an e-mail to their Shorter College e-mail address.

Click the “Receive PIN by email” link to obtain a forgotten PIN. For security reasons, please do not share Web ID’s or PIN’s with anyone other than Shorter College Financial Aid Office staff.
