ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ

This means you can concentrate on just being a ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ student.

And, when you graduate, you can focus on whatever comes next—without student debt limiting your options.

• Our highest priority is making a ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ education affordable for everyone. You can contact our student aid officers and use our aid estimators before you even apply. 
  
  
• The application fee is automatically waived if you are applying for aid, or if you are the first in your family to go to college.
  
  
• More than half of ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ students in the most recent entering class receive aid. Of those aided students, 27 percent pay $0.

ADMITTING

• ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ’s student aid is need based. This means our scholarship and grant support is determined based on your individual family situation.
  
  
• ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ is need blind for all applicants, which means that your ability to pay is never a factor or barrier to admission.
  
  
• ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ meets your full calculated need using need-based scholarships—not loans—which never have to be paid back.
  
  
• The average financial aid package for students in the most recent entering class is $68,000, with need-based ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ scholarships ranging from $8,010 to $87,720.
  
  
• Health insurance coverage is available to students on financial aid who don’t have comparable plans of their own.

ARRIVING

• You’ll receive your student aid award with your admission letter, so you can make decisions and start planning right away.
  
  
• For students whose combined parental income is less than $75,000, the summer work contribution of $2,300 is replaced with need-based scholarship.
  
  
• Your student aid award is calculated to include tuition, housing, food, and a budget for indirect costs—to help you cover things like personal expenses, books, and transportation.

ATTENDING

• Every ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ student receives a MacBook Pro, an iPad, and an Apple Pencil—yours to keep upon graduation.
  
  
• On-campus employment is available to all students, with wages ranging from $14.50 to $16.75 an hour. Campus jobs are usually between five and ten hours per week, and are capped at twenty hours.
  
  
• Your student aid award can be used to cover the cost of studying abroad.
  
  
• If you are pursuing a summer internship in a field that can’t afford to pay interns—often the case for nonprofits and in areas like public service, education, and the arts—ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ’s funded internship grants can provide a stipend of up to $7,000.

AFTER BOWDOIN

• Because ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ scholarships never have to be repaid, you can expand your options for employment or graduate school—without navigating a mountain of debt.
  
  
• ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ offers more than $400,000 in graduate and medical school scholarships to seniors and alumni who are applying to or attending postgraduate programs of study.
