Tuition & Financial Aid

College Hall

Smith welcomes and supports qualified students from all economic backgrounds. As part of the college’s commitment to access, affordability and equity, 澳门葡京博彩软件已经取消了对那些接受机构需求援助的学生的本科经济援助计划中的贷款, replacing those funds with institutional grants. The college will meet the full documented need, as determined by college policy, of all admitted students who apply for aid by the published deadlines. 

This section is for prospective students applying for admission. If you are a current student, please go to the Student Financial Services website for financial aid deadlines and policies.

No Loans (Yes, Really!)

Smith College does not include student loans in its undergraduate financial aid packages for students receiving need-based institutional grants—instead, we replace the loan amount with grants from the college, meaning students don’t graduate under a mountain of debt.

The initiative currently contains two parts:

  1. Eliminating loans from its financial aid packages
  2. Providing low-income entering students with one-time startup grants

这一举措推进了学院的目标,即确保所有学生的大学经历都是公平的, regardless of family finances.

Smith provides more than $80 million annually in institutional financial aid, and we have been leaders in enrolling Pell Grant-eligible students. The generosity of alums and donors, 加上我们对财务的谨慎管理——尤其是我们的捐赠基金——使我们能够在这个时候进行这项投资. 从经济援助计划中取消贷款是平衡学生经历的下一步, regardless of family resources.
