It's true — college may be one of the biggest expenses you encounter over the next few years. But it can be one of the best investments you'll ever make — and we'll help you every way we can. Take advantage of a variety of institutional scholarships and grants, as well as grants and loans through federal and state assistance. Each student is given personal consideration to fit the financial aid package to the student’s need through both institutional and government aid programs.
Cost is important, but the real question is, What is the value of the education I will receive? Cost is very different from value. Some low cost institutions provide low value education. Of course, some high cost institutions may also provide low value education. At Southern Wesleyan, we want you to be as successful as possible. So, as you consider college options, look for high value, then let the financial aid team help you work through cost.
