The Investment of a Lifetime, Because You are Worth It

When you’re looking at the value of the K experience — an individualized curriculum, study abroad and away experiences, and impactful internships or externships — it’s hard to believe it could be so affordable.

At Kalamazoo College, we invest in your future. Just take a look at the numbers and you’ll see our commitment to creating an affordable, accessible experience:

• 98% of our students receive some sort of financial aid.
• All applicants are considered for merit scholarships. Merit scholarships are based on your academic achievements and range between $40,000-$48,000 annually.
• The average need-based financial aid package is $45,752. This might include additional grants, opportunities to earn money through work-study jobs, or low-interest loans.
• Over $63 million was awarded in grants and scholarships to students in the 2023-24 academic year.

Kalamazoo College is proud to partner with local scholarship programs, including the Kalamazoo Promise and the Bearcat Advantage.
