The cost of a college education is a significant investment. We are committed to making a Dickinson education accessible and affordable.
In fact, all students admitted to the class of 2022 had their financial need met—and that is an annual achievement, not a rarity. In 2017-18, we awarded 52.8 million in institutional grants and scholarships.
Dickinson's Net Price Calculator is designed to give potential applicants to the college an early estimate of their eligibility for need-based financial aid.

Financial Assistance
The Office of Financial Aid helps families manage the costs of education by providing them with financial aid information and services. A financial aid award “package” is developed for each recipient based on their needs and is provided at the time of acceptance.
