Tuition and Aid

The cost of a college education is a significant investment, and we're committed to making a Dickinson education accessible and affordable.

In fact, all students admitted to the class of 2029 had their financial need met—and that's an annual achievement, not a rarity. An additional $89.5 million in institutional grants and scholarships was awarded in 2025-26.

This is one reason the Princeton Review ranks Dickinson #16 for Great Financial Aid (2025).
