Financial Aid & Funding

To learn more about financial aid options, please reach out to a Financial Aid Counselor for information at financial.aid@gallaudet.edu. 

Students are strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible to determine eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid. FAFSA information and application instructions are available at: https://studentaid.gov/

Financial Aid counselors are assigned based on the student’s last name. Current counselor assignments are listed below:

• A–F: Dylan Westbury at Dylan.Westbury@gallaudet.edu

• G–L: Shelby Bean at Shelby.Bean@gallaudet.edu

• M–R: Mercedes Olson at Mercedes.Olson@gallaudet.edu

• S–Z: Shanna Cooley at Shanna.Cooley@gallaudet.edu

For assistance from the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Specialist, please contact amanda.gerson@gallaudet.edu.

Students using VR are also encouraged to complete the FAFSA, as it may help identify additional sources of financial support.
