Other Options to Cover Your Balance

Apply For Financial Aid – File the FAFSA

Students should apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Office of Student Financial Services will use your FAFSA to offer you grants, scholarships, and low-interest federal loans (if eligible). We also recommend seeking out additional scholarships from outside sources. For more information about outside scholarships, click here.

Monthly Tuition Payment Plan

Greensboro College offers a monthly tuition payment plan for our students. Our Tuition Payment Plan is a payment option that divides your remaining balance into manageable monthly payments. We offer payment plans for the following students:

  • Traditional and Adult Undergraduates
  • Graduate Students
  • The Piedmont Alternative Licensure (PAL) Program
  • Visiting International Faculty (VIF) in the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Program

Please Note: The monthly tuition payment plan CANNOT be used for books, parking permits, commuter meal plans, or prior term charges.

If you are pursuing your first bachelor’s degree and are under the age of 23, you are considered a Traditional Undergraduate Student.

Federal Direct PLUS Loan for Parents

The Parent PLUS Loan is a federal loan offered to eligible parents of dependent students. If approved, the loan may be used to cover your remaining balance. If not approved, you may be offered additional Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan funds. Your parent will need to complete the loan application online at StudentAid.gov using their Parent FSA ID (the same username and password that was used to sign the FAFSA).

Private Student or Parent Loan

Private lenders and banks offer private educational loans to qualifying students and parents. In most cases, the student or parent will need a creditworthy co-signer to be approved for the loan. Terms and conditions are set by the bank or lending institution. Applications for private loans are available on the lender or bank’s website. Click here to use our Loan Comparison Tool to compare private lenders.

“I loved the GC Honors program and Greensboro College. I felt safe and a sense of genuine belonging at the college. I worked closely with my thesis advisor and professors who helped inspire me to define my path and passion of interest. That path has led me to my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.”
