New College guarantees scholarship funding to nearly 100% of admitted 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 can receive 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.
