Curious about One-time Federal Student Loan Debt Relief?

The best place to get information about a full or partial discharge of up to $20,000 in Federal Student Loans is the Federal Student Aid website. 

Financial Aid Offices manage student loans while students are in school. Once the loan period ends and/or the student leaves school, loan servicers handle the repayment. Federal Student Aid handles loan forgiveness or discharge. Contact your loan servicer for more information.

Changes due to COVID-19

Check Emergency Resources for small emergency grants and short-term loans available to help during emergency situations. The rule limiting students to one emergency grant or loan per academic year is on a case by case basis.

If you’re having financial difficulty, contact the Financial Aid Office right away. If you or your family has lost income, you may be eligible for additional aid. Email your concerns and questions to finaid@evergreen.edu.

Emergency Funds

Any student that needs funds before the receipt of their refund can request an emergency grant or loan.

Visit Financial Aid Emergency Resources for the application and information about the resources available to students.

When submitting an emergency grant or loan application, ask about the timeline for receiving funds. Our goal is to deliver funds in two days or less, but the schedule may vary due to holidays.

Keep your mailing address up to date

Any student that moved during Fall Quarter should update their mailing address through My Evergreen. Doing so now ensures all mail will be delivered to the correct location.
