A School of Opportunity
Hamilton meets the full demonstrated financial need of every accepted and enrolled student for all four years. If your family can only pay a portion of the advertised tuition, room, board, and fees – or maybe even none at all – we help you cover the rest with generous financial aid awards. Many colleges and universities in the country can either meet full demonstrated need or admit the most qualified students regardless of their need –but we’re one of a few dozen that pledges to do both.
