Attention Senior families! We have an update from HESC!

The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) is pleased to announce that, beginning March 18, students and families will be able to call HESC directly for financial aid assistance at 1-888-NYSHESC (1-888-697-4372).

This change eliminates HESC’s “appointment only” configuration, improving HESC’s ability to better provide timely support to students and families navigating the financial aid process.
