of first-years get a grant from the school

$1,188

average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 11% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $1,188. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 56 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.

Is it worth it?

Out-earn a HS grad: —
