FINANCIAL AID
Your Gustavus education is both an experience and an opportunity of great value. It represents a significant investment of time, energy, and resources by both you and your family. Your education will impact the rest of your life. Gustavus supports you in this investment.
We strongly encourage you to first consider the best college fit independent of cost. Then, with this understanding of your priorities, explore all the financial assistance options. We strive to make a Gustavus education accessible for all families through a combination of merit-based scholarships, need-based financial assistance, and financing options.
We want to make the financial aid process more clear; please contact us or the Gustavus Financial Assistance Office with any questions or concerns.
