Please send an email to financialaid@shorter.edu to inform us of which night you wish to attend. Reservations are appreciated but not required.

warning signNOTE!

It has come to our attention that some of our students are receiving information from a company encouraging them to apply for aid for the 11-12 year through them. This company is also asking for a fee. Please know that IT IS FREE to apply for all federal and state financial aid. All you need to do is complete the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Please disregard this company’s attempt to take your money! Financial aid is awarded by colleges and universities, not private companies.

If in doubt about something you receive, please feel free to call the financial aid office at 706-233-7227 or email us at financialaid@shorter.edu.
