Financial Aid and Cost of Attendance

This is an investment in you.

Youe looking at ��ϰٿ� because you want to blaze your intellectual trail at an institution that brings together students from many backgrounds and gives you the support to create your own academic journey. Wel do everything we can to make sure that the cost of a ��ϰٿ� education doesn�t get in your way � and in partnership with your family and the College, you may be able to graduate without student debt, which can be a burden that slows you down as you pursue your goals after graduation.

Our Commitment to You

��ϰٿ� continues to live up to its values of academic excellence in a diverse community dedicated to social responsibility by investing even more in you � our students. ��ϰٿ� is one of fewer than 10 colleges and universities nationwide that are need blind, meet 100% of demonstrated need, offer no-loan financial aid, and that are test optional.

What does that mean for you? It means a ��ϰٿ� education is financially accessible. We will evaluate your application based on your academic potential and your qualifications, not on your ability to pay. We also commit to meet your demonstrated financial need without loans � ��ϰٿ� offers additional grants rather than loans.

It means you can graduate and take on the next stage of your life without the burdens of student loan debt.

92%

of our students receive grant and scholarship aid to help pay for their years at ��ϰٿ�.

68%

of ��ϰٿ� students receive need-based aid with an average grant/scholarship eligibility of $69,834.

$86 million

total grants and scholarships provided to students this year.

You can afford a ��ϰٿ� education.

We value you for you, not how much your family can contribute to the cost of your education. So when you apply for admission, we don�t consider your ability to pay � that what we call need-blind admission*.

We also meet 100% of your demonstrated need without loans � only a handful of colleges and universities among more than 4,000 in the United States can say that.

�Because ��ϰٿ�'s comprehensive fee includes housing, food, books, and access to almost everything on campus, need-based financial aid has allowed me to focus on my academic interests without worrying about money or loans."

� Akram Safiyazov '28 (Astana, Kazakhstan)

"The staff at ��ϰٿ� are some of the kindest people I have ever met. Specifically in the financial aid office, I remember not knowing if my scholarship would allow me to study abroad. Despite my nerves, the staff members I met with never made me feel ashamed about my personal finances. In fact, they made the environment super welcoming and were eager to ensure I would be able to study abroad without financial drawbacks."

� Quinby Rainey '27 (Hammon, OK)
