Financial Aid

Welcome to Olympic College! The Office of Student Financial Services is here to assist you in accessing the various types of financial aid funding you need to ensure that you are able to meet your educational goals.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!! Effective June 30, Higher One became BankMobile (a subsidiary of Customers Bank), and the One Account became BankMobileVibe (still co-branded as OlympicAdvantage Card). New BankMobile customers should look for a Refund Selection Kit, which will come in a BRIGHT GREEN envelope. Students who already have an OlympicAdvantage card, your deposit selection will remain unchanged.
