Let's Break it Down
We start by guaranteeing Aquinas Academic Scholarships as the minimum each student will receive each year for up to five years based on their incoming GPA. That’s as much as $125,000 for those with the highest GPAs! On top of that yearly guarantee, there are many other scholarships and grants that you may qualify for based on your family income, extracurricular and leadership activities, involvement in the arts, volunteering, athletics. Not sure what you may need? Our net price calculator is designed to help you estimate your financial aid options for Aquinas College.
