Estimate your aid

Did you know that Skidmore annually gives over $75 million in financial aid to our students? And more than half of our students receive need-based grant aid?

Use one of our two calculators to get an estimate of how much financial aid Skidmore College is likely to award you. It is an easy way to get a sense of affordability for your family before financial aid and admission applications are due. Remember, early awareness allows more time to consider financing options and for parents and students to have candid conversations about budgeting, student loan indebtedness, and more.
