New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC)

HESC helps people plan and pay for college. Here you'll find information about how to save for college plus tips on filling out forms, finding grants and scholarships, getting tax breaks, and applying for loans. Once you’re in school and even after you've graduated, you can manage your loans and grants here and keep up with changes in financial aid programs.

HESC is the first place for parents to turn to when planning a student's future. Bookmark us and check back often. See "In The Spotlight" for advice and timelines. We have the information you need when you need it!

If you’re a counselor, HESC offers you valuable online tools and support so you can help your students choose the right school and receive maximum financial aid.
