Agnes Scott strives to attract and maintain an economically diverse student body. The financial aid program supports this goal by making an Agnes Scott education affordable for every student who is admitted. Currently, more than 60 percent of Agnes Scott students qualify for and receive financial aid based on their family's financial circumstances. Based on this evaluation, the student may be offered a financial aid package consisting of one or more grants, a federal Stafford Student Loan and the offer of campus employment. Once a student's eligibility for financial aid is determined, assistance from all sources, including merit-based scholarships, is applied toward the eligibility.
Scholarships are available for students with varying backgrounds and levels of achievement.
The scholarships are based on a variety of criteria and are renewable for a maximum of three additional years. Recipients are selected on the basis of outstanding academic achievement and promise. If a student is awarded a larger scholarship from the College, the larger award will replace the matching award. Students must be HOPE scholars to qualify for the matching award. Nannette Hopkins Scholarships in music are awarded to entering students planning to major in music on the basis of musical talent and promise.
