Barton College Tuition Info

Hey y'all, I've been looking at Barton College as a potential place for my undergrad. Seemed like a great school but finances are a big thing for my family. How much is the tuition at Barton College? Do they have any scholarships or financial aid programs I need to know about?

For the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition for attending Barton College full-time (12 to 18 credit hours per semester) is currently $35,600. Please bear in mind that these costs do not include potential fees, books, and personal expenses, nor do they account for room and board for students living on campus.

Barton offers both merit-based scholarships and need-based financial aid to help reduce the cost of attendance. Scholarships are awarded primarily on the basis of academic achievement and promise, while the financial aid package can include federal and state grants, loans, and work-study opportunities.

The college offers several merit-based scholarships that are awarded to entering freshmen based on cumulative high school GPA and standardized test scores (SAT or ACT); these include scholarships like the Barton W. Stone Scholarship, which is the highest, awarding a total of $12,000 per year to students who meet certain academic status.

On the need-based side, you would need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to obtain federal and state grants and loans. Starting October 1, you can submit the application on the FAFSA.gov website. Barton College's school code is 002908.

Lastly, Barton also offers talent scholarships in Athletics, Theatre, Music, and Art that are determined during the admission process. If you think you might be a good candidate for these scholarships, be sure to contact the respective department for additional details.

Remember, it's always good practice to look for external scholarships as well to help reduce the tuition burden.
