Applying to Sewanee is about as straightforward as it can be. We have no application fee, we've been test-optional for the past 10 years, and we meet the full demonstrated need of all admitted first-year students who qualify for financial aid.
We only make one decision when it comes to admission. We admit students who belong at Sewanee. That's why one of our first steps in the admission process is for us to determine fit.
Although the campus is closed to guests, we make an exception for prospective students because it is important for you to imagine yourselves here.
At Sewanee, we provide individual attention to each student during the admission process. Your admission counselor is available to you every step of the way.
We believe in the power of diversity to enhance our academic and residential life and to enrich our understanding of the world. We engage our most rigorous thinking when we interact with people whose perspectives differ from our own.
Starting with first-time first-year students, arriving fall 2020, we've expanded our institutional aid program to meet the full need of admitted students who qualify for financial aid. Find out the baseline tuition, room, board and fee specifics, then estimate your adjusted net price.
Excited to begin your journey here on the Mountain? This is where you can make your enrollment deposit, register for an admitted student event, keep up with our Sewanee Sessions, and learn more about the people, places, and opportunities you will soon be acquainted with.
From the arts, to fieldwork, to creative writing, Sewanee's pre-college programs give high school students a taste of life on the Domain during one of the most beautiful times of the year.
Sewanee loves counselors, and we'd love to have you to visit. Discover your best opportunity to see the Domain firsthand.
Sewanee provides funding for an approved summer internship or research fellowship, a semester-long study abroad opportunity at no additional tuition cost, and the ability to graduate with one major in four years. Of course, you will have to do your part. If you meet Sewanee’s academic and social expectations, these opportunities will be provided.
Our small classes mean that your voice will be heard, your contribution will be expected, and your opinion will be listened to (and disagreed with, and challenged, and seen from a different perspective, and pushed in a new direction, and considered—and you know what? Maybe we’re both right. See how it works?).
We're a community where everyone has a place and there's a place for everyone. Group study? We'll bring our notes. Rock climbing? We're geared up and ready. Jam session? Sure, we'll play with you. Whatever you want to do, at Sewanee, you'll never have to go it alone. Unless you need your space. Then, we totally get it.
