New College provides scholarship funding to most enrolled students, providing an exceptional education at an affordable price.
Admitted students who are U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent resident aliens, or eligible non-citizens will be considered for scholarship funding. There are additional scholarships available by application. If a student qualifies for more than one scholarship, we will assign the best option (unless the scholarship indicates otherwise). All scholarships are subject to renewal requirements and to availability of funding. Institutional funding is not available to students who already hold a bachelor’s or advanced degree.
