Hey there! I'm considering applying to Bryn Mawr. They seem to offer the type of small-classroom environment I'm looking for. That said, I'm worried about tuition costs. Does anyone here have an idea of the current tuition rate at Bryn Mawr? Any financial aid they're known for? The pressure of finding a good and affordable college is real, so, I appreciate your help!
Hi there! At the moment, for the 2024-2025 academic year, Bryn Mawr's published tuition rate is at $64,500. However, this amount does not include other expenses like room and board, books, and personal expenses, which can potentially increase the total cost of attendance to around $87,000 per year.
Bryn Mawr does offer financial aid to students who demonstrate need. In evaluating need, they'll review your parents' income, assets, and other financial factors. They're committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted undergraduate students, which is not a guarantee at every college. They also offer some merit scholarships, which might not require demonstrated financial need. One known scholarship is the Presidential Scholarship, which grants $25,000 per year for four years.
Please note that these figures can change each year, and the actual financial aid you might receive will depend on your family's financial situation. I strongly recommend you use Bryn Mawr's net price calculator (https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/brynmawr) to get a more accurate estimation of what you may need to pay. Remember, the sticker price isn't always what you end up paying, so don't let the initial cost discourage you.
Good luck with your college decision process! Keep asking questions and seeking the information you need. Costs are an important factor, but ensuring a good fit with the right college is equally significant.
