We Will Invest Our Students In Your Future: Graduate In: 100% 4YRS Our financial aid package averages about $23,000 per student. That’s gift aid that doesn’t ever have to be paid back. Graduating in more than four years can cost you more than $500,000 in lifetime earnings – not to mention the extra tuition, room and board! 98% Placement Rate Affordable Excellence Our post-graduate numbers speak for themselves: Manchester graduates get jobs or into grad schools. That’s a guarantee. Because of our generous financial aid packages, a Manchester student pays out of pocket, on average, only 42.5% of the advertised annual list price. Scholarships We strongly believe that you have worked hard to earn your place at Manchester and deserve financial assistance in the pursuit of your degree. That’s why we offer many renewable scholarships and grants to incoming students. Academic Scholarships Awards range from $1,000 to $19,500 based on academic information collected with application materials. These awards are renewable up to four years if you maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA at Manchester. Special Awards You may be eligible for other aid, too, in the form of matching awards or individually assessed grants that respond to your financial needs. Manchester offers additional awards for Church of the Brethren students, students who have a family member who attended Manchester and out-of-state students. A Music Scholarship is also offered. 23
