STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES
FINANCIAL AID
One of Georgia Perimeter College’s goals is to strengthen student success. The
office of Student Financial Services understands that in order to strengthen student
success, we must provide assistance and guidance to students and parents regarding
financial assistance so that each student may successfully meet his/her educational
goals.
The office of Student Financial Services strives to help remove financial barriers and
make the financial aid process as simple and easy to understand as possible. Our
office is here to serve and provide financial assistance in the fairest and most
efficient way possible by providing equal opportunities for deserving and eligible
students who, without financial assistance, might otherwise be unable to attend
college.
