Affordability Challenge
The cost of a college education has risen much more rapidly than the average family income over the last three decades. Currently, 68% of our students need financial aid to afford the Dickinson experience, with an average grant of $36,898.
Scholarships ensure Dickinson remains affordable and attainable not only for low-income students but also for many middle-income students.
Every Dickinson Fund gift toward scholarships supports financial aid for middle-income as well as high-need families. So if this area is important to you, and choose “Scholarships” as the designation.
If you would like to explore establishing and endowed fund supporting students from middle-income families, please call 800-543-3809 or email giving@dickinson.edu.
