Welcome to Financial Aid at Elizabethtown!
As you and your parents undertake the college selection process, financing the cost of a quality education is an important consideration. While the family has the primary responsibility for a student's educational costs, there are various resources and options available to help supplement a family's best efforts to finance an education. Elizabethtown College will make every effort to help minimize cost as a major factor in the college selection process.
The key role of our office is to assist students and their families in finding the financial means to allow them to fully participate in the entire educational experience at Elizabethtown. To help supplement a family's efforts, Elizabethtown College administers a comprehensive need-based financial aid and merit scholarship program. Financial resources include grants, merit-based scholarships, employment, student loans, parent loans, and an interest-free monthly payment plan. At Elizabethtown, over 90% of our students receive some form of financial aid!
