Financial Aid

Don’t let financial need keep you from applying to Rhodes.

Our goal for all students—both domestic and international—is to remove cost as the primary determining factor in whether or not you attend Rhodes. All of our students are encouraged to apply for fellowships, scholarships and need-based assistance.

  • Rhodes offers one of the largest per capita merit-based schoalrship programs in the nation.
  • More than 85% of Rhodes students receive some form of financial aid of any source, totaling more than $20 million each year.
    need is over $18,000.
  • The average Rhodes student with demonstrated financial need receives more than $20,000 per year in a combination fo scholarships, grants, loans, and work study.
  • Each year approximately 50% of all entering students receive four-year competitve fellowships, schoalrships and awards valued up to the full cost of tuition, fees, room, and board.
  • The average award for students receiving a competitive fellowship or scholarship totals about $11,700 per year.

Our financial aid packages typically consist of a combination of fellowships or scholarships, grants, and work-study jobs. Awards are based on academic performance, application essays and–for need-based assistance–family financial information.

What is the annual cost of a Rhodes education?

The 2008-2009 costs for resident students are:
