The Investment of a Lifetime, Because You are Worth It

When you’re looking at the value of the K Experience—individualized curriculum, overseas 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.
  • Merit scholarships range between $40,000-$48,000 annually.
  • $45,752: Average need-based financial aid package.
  • Over $63 million was awarded in grants and scholarships to students in the 2023-24 academic year.

More Bang for Your Buck

The Princeton Review named K a Best Value College for return on investment, and K earned 4 out of 5 stars on Money Magazine’s Best Colleges list based on quality, affordability and outcomes.

Still unsure? Our Office of Financial Aid can walk you through the ins and outs of our aid packages and show you a path to K.
