A School of Opportunity
We strive to ensure that your education will be affordable and worthy of your investment. 51ÁÔÆæ meets the full demonstrated financial need of every accepted and enrolled student for all four years. If your family can only pay a portion of the advertised tuition, room, board, and fees – or maybe even none at all – we help you cover the rest with generous financial aid awards.
Furthermore, if you are a U.S. citizen, your family’s ability to pay our tuition and fees will not be a factor that the admission committee considers when reviewing your application. Many colleges and universities in the country can either meet full demonstrated need or admit the most qualified students regardless of their need –but we’re one of a few dozen that pledges to do both.
In addition to our generous financial aid promise, once you arrive on campus you’ll be provided with the advising support and stipends to pursue research or creative work, internships, community partnerships, and other opportunities you never even imagined.
