The decision to attend Converse College signifies your willingness to invest in your future, both financially and academically. As one of the leading women's colleges in the country, Converse is committed to providing you with the finest education possible. Despite efforts to keep higher education costs down, many colleges have been forced to increase tuition to develop computer technology, attract first-rate faculty, and maintain superior facilities.
Converse is no exception.
However, the Converse Office of Financial Assistance is dedicated to providing every student a practical and affordable financial-aid package that will enable her to attend Converse. In fact, more than 80 percent of Converse students receive some type of financial assistance, in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. This guide was designed to help students understand the financial aid application process and the opportunities available. All costs are set by the Board of Trustees each spring. Incoming freshmen academic scholarships are renewable at the original amount for up to a total of four years of study or until graduation, whichever occurs first, as long as the recipient earns a cumulative Converse GPA of at least a 3.0.
