Welcome to Financial Aid!
Did you know that more than 97% of students at Hardin-Simmons University receive some type of financial aid? That means chances are good that you’re eligible, too. That’s why it’s important to apply for aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) for students that are classified as a Texas Resident who cannot apply for federal financial aid.
