Experience Affordability

We seek to keep quality education affordable for qualified students. Our annual costs are offset by a financial assistance program that includes:

academic merit-based scholarships
Austin College need-based grants
federal and state grants
loan programs
work-study
outside scholarship entities

While students and their families assume primary responsibility for the cost of college, our Office of Financial Aid will work closely with you to develop financial aid packages and/or financing plans that work best for your family.

Austin College prides itself on providing an educational experience of great value to our students—and others have noticed.
