Applying for Aid

Yes, a private education is affordable for ALL families at Aquinas. It’s literally our mission to include you. 100% of first-year students receive financial aid. We connect you with scholarship and aid opportunities, so you take on no more debt in four years than you’ll earn in your first year of work.

As a matter of fact, the average cost of tuition, housing, meals and fees for one year at Aquinas College is about $19,500 after receiving aid . That’s less than half the “sticker price” of $48,000 in 2020-2021 (National Center for Education Statistics, College Navigator 2020-2021).
