May 13, 2006 (Press Release) --
7. Hillsdale College
Hillsdale College emphasizes what is old and traditional--hence its intensive core requirements, which guarantee that each student is exposed to major themes in Western thought. Hillsdale does not participate in any federal aid programs so that it may avoid potential federal encroachments on its independence. Nonetheless, aid is still readily available--the average student receives a (privately funded) aid package of about $10,000.
8. The University of the South--Sewanee
This small liberal arts school has a long-standing reputation in the humanities and enjoys increasing prominence in the sciences. Sewanee offers generous financial aid packages that include both need- and merit-based scholarships. The school is currently working to increase the amount of its merit awards.
9. Swarthmore College
Swarthmore is among the most prestigious liberal arts schools in the country. About half of all Swarthmore undergraduates receive need-based aid every year. The school meets 100 percent of the demonstrated need of all admitted students who are U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
10. Earlham College
The academic pace is rigorous at this small Quaker school. Earlham's substantial endowment allows it to administer $9.4 million in institutional need-based grants and scholarships and another $2.5 million in merit-based awards annually.
