If you’re a Grinnellian, we want you here. Beginning in 2021-22, scholarships, grants, and campus jobs will be the aid that makes up your need-based financial aid package - no loans - all in the effort to help you better afford your education. This means that 100% of your demonstrated need will be met without the expectation of taking on student debt.
Explore the information here, then let us know if you have questions. We’re here to help, no matter where you are in the process. We want to ensure that you have everything you need.
Cost & Net Price
All the things that go into that final amount—they matter. And we want to make sure you know how it looks for your personal circumstances.
How Need is Calculated
Your eligibility for financial assistance is based on the difference between two numbers: the cost of your education and the calculated ability of you and your family to meet that cost.
Scholarships and Grants
Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. Discover Grinnell’s significant scholarship and grant resources and what’s available from federal and state sources.
Loans and Financing
Whether you choose our monthly payment plan, your 529 plan, loan options, or a combination of these, we'll provide guidance as you determine how best to provide your family's contribution.
Student Employment
If you want a campus job, we have plenty for you to explore, and you don't need to have work-study eligibility to do it.
