Thanks to scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study, there are many ways to afford a Rhodes education. The Office of Financial Aid will work closely with you to explore all available funding resources. Our goal is to remove cost as a deterrent for applying to Rhodes.
The financial aid and scholarship programs offered by Rhodes make it possible for qualified students to attend, regardless of income.
Every family’s circumstances are unique. We encourage all families to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The Rhodes College Net Price Calculator is one tool that can assist you in estimating an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and exploring what types of aid might be available to you to assist in paying for the costs associated with your education at Rhodes.
All applicants will be considered for numerous merit-based scholarships and fellowships. These highly competitive awards are determined on an individual basis and celebrate the strength and achievements of each admitted student, in and out of the classroom.
The cost of tuition and fees at Rhodes is among the lowest of the national liberal arts colleges. Still, we understand that financing a college education is a big task, and we are here to help. Most Rhodes students end up paying no more than the cost of a state school.
