Our Commitment to Affordability
Students and their families are often relieved to discover that Stonehill is dedicated to affordability, providing the best of both worlds: a college with a nationally ranked reputation that ensures an accessible experience for all excellent students, regardless of their economic means.
We make this effort because we know our community is best served when it brings together bright minds and diverse perspectives.
Support that helps bridge the gaps
Navigating how best to pay for college can feel overwhelming. That’s why we provide every accepted student and their family with a personal financial aid counselor experienced in guiding families to the best options for their situation. Your counselor will work with you, from acceptance to commencement to identify the best way for you to make college affordable.
For the Class of 2026, 95% of need was met through financial aid for students eligible for need-based aid and 71% had all of their need met.
It’s also important to know that we understand the sensitivity of discussing family finances and offer you confidentiality, compassion and advice.
