Students with a complaint about the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships should refer to the ETSU Complaint Policy and Procedure for Students.

Financial Aid programs, rules, and regulations are subject to change.  Federal and state funds are conditional upon congressional appropriation and receipt of those funds at ETSU. Students may contact a counselor with any questions or concerns regarding their eligibility. 

In an effort to adhere to federal privacy laws, the ETSU Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships restricts the release of certain private student information. Students must contact us personally to check the status of their financial aid application and awards. We will be unable to release information to third parties (i.e., parents, spouses, etc.) unless they have been added to a students list of approved First Mates and granted access to view the student's financial aid information.

Students can add First Mates to their account by following the directions on the First Mate website. 

Stay Informed

ETSU Financial Aid and Scholarships provides many ways for students to both stay informed and contact Financial Aid. Here are some of those options:

  • Ask Bucky, our virtual assistant.
  • Utilize Financial Aid TV, a library of short and informative videos.
  • Make a FASTPASS Appointment to meet with your personal Financial Aid Counselor either in-person or via Zoom.
  • Walk-ins are welcome at our physical office (105 Burgin Dossett), but you will meet with the walk-in counselor on duty that day, who may or may not be your personal Financial Aid Counselor. 
  • Follow ETSU Financial Aid and Scholarships on Facebook, Instagram and X (formerly known as Twitter) for important updates.
  • You may contact your personal Financial Aid Counselor directly. 
  • Call 423-439-4300, email finaid@etsu.edu, or visit the office's homepage for more information.
