Financial Aid Office

The Financial Aid Office seeks to make Mines a possibility for all students and families by offering as many financial aid options as possible.

The Financial Aid Office handles:

• Scholarships from all sources

• Grants

• Work Study

• Subsidized/Unsubsidized Student Loans

• Parent PLUS Loans

• Private Education Loans

Parents and families are encouraged to subscribe to the Financial Aid Newsletter to receive direct communication from our office about important dates, deadlines and timely information. Subscribe at finaid.mines.edu .

All information related to a student’s financial aid is available in real-time on Trailhead. Students can accept or reject federal loans, review their financial aid awards, and view/ submit outstanding requirements.

Our financial aid counselors are available without an appointment during normal business hours by phone or email. They have experience assisting families with changes to their financial situations and helping students with decisions such as dropping classes to protect GPA. We encourage students to call or email any question they have so we can help.

Outside Scholarship Payments Go to Financial Aid

Students should report outside scholarships through the financial aid form on our website.

Please have scholarship providers mail the scholarship to Financial Aid and include the student’s name and CWID.

FERPA and Financial Aid

The student’s financial aid record belongs only to the student. The student can grant “proxy” access through Trailhead to allow other individuals access to specific parts of their record. Students can designate more than one proxy. For more information and instructions on how to set up a proxy, please visit our Proxy Site: finaid.mines.edu/proxy.
