Facts & figures about Sewanee's aid approach
The average award for new students receiving institutional aid was just over $34,000.
Sewanee provides more than $50 million in institutional aid each year to our undergraduate students.
98 percent of entering first-year students received gift funding, that is scholarships, grants or tuition remissions through federal, state, or institutional sources.
Each year, Sewanee invests more than $50 million of institutional resources through academic scholarships, need-based grants, tuition remissions, and institutional employment opportunities for undergraduate students. In August 2022, the average institutional funding received by first year students, through scholarships, need-based grants, tuition exchange or tuition remission is just over $32,000. 57 percent of the incoming class is eligible for need-based aid.
There is no separate application or separate deadline for scholarships prior to an admission decision. Applicants are evaluated for highest performance within the applicant pool using the Common Application. All scholarships are renewable with satisfactory academic progress.
Financial aid funds are always limited and need-based eligibility can shift from year to year. Priority consideration is given to on-time actionable aid applications.
The Office of Financial Aid is located in Fulford Hall on the second floor. Parking is available behind the building. Map & directions.
