CONWAY, Ark. (September 4, 2019) — For
qualified first-year students entering Fall 2020, Hendrix College will match
the published tuition for the flagship public school in the students’ home
state.
The new Tuition Advantage is part
of the nationally recognized private college’s commitment to being accessible
and affordable for all students.
“We developed Tuition Advantage to reassure students that Hendrix
is absolutely within their reach,” said Hendrix President Bill Tsutsui. “If a
student wants the kind of rigorous hands-on education that we offer, Tuition
Advantage means they can come to Hendrix for the same tuition price as their
home state’s public flagship school.
“When you consider the close-knit community and support we offer,
the opportunities for unique engaged learning experiences that exist, and our four-year
graduation rate, which is twice the national average (and nearly three times
our state’s average), Hendrix is a great investment for students and families,”
he added.
To be considered for the Tuition Advantage, students must
first apply for admission to Hendrix. Complete applications are evaluated
holistically based on academic performance, leadership, extracurricular
activities, and service. All accepted students are considered for Hendrix
financial aid and scholarship programs, including the Tuition
Advantage.
If a qualified student still owes more in tuition and fees
than the published rate for their state flagship after all Hendrix College-provided
aid is applied, Hendrix will award an additional scholarship to bring the
amount down to the flagship institution rate.
