Financing Your Holy Cross College Education 

Welcome to the Holy Cross College Office of Financial Aid! 

Did you know that Holy Cross College is one of America's most affordable four-year private schools and one of its best values? 

According to the College Board, the 2008-2009 national average annual tuition rate for four-year private colleges and universities was $25,143.  By comparison, our tuition rate for 2010-2011 is only $19,700!  We can also make Holy Cross even more affordable through our generous need-based and merit-based financial aid and scholarship programs.   Over 90% of our students receive some form of financial aid.

Additionally, we are pleased to announce our Four-Year Tuition-Rate Lock program, beginning with the 2010-2011 academic year.  This means that new students entering Holy Cross this coming Fall will lock in the 2010-2011 tuition rate ($19,700) for four years of continuous attendance!  In other words, you will not be subjected to unpredictable yearly tuition rate increases common at most colleges and universities.  Imagine the savings!  Click here to read more about the Four-Year Tuition-Rate Lock Program.

Indiana residents who qualify for need-based State of Indiana grants will find Holy Cross as affordable as nearly any other option. And out-of-state residents will find our tuition lower than many public schools that are outside their home state.

We encourage you to use these calculators http://www.finaid.org/calculators/ to get a rough idea of what your out-of-pocket cost may be at Holy Cross College.   Of course there are Holy Cross scholarship grants that cannot be accounted for unless you apply for admission and submit all of the required financial aid forms.

We realize that the current recession has created many financial challenges for new and continuing students and their families.  The Office of Financial Aid stands ready to assist in making Holy Cross College an affordable option for you.   If you have questions or need personal assistance with any aspect of the financial aid process, please contact Robert Benjamin, Director of Financial Aid or Vincent Duke, Associate Director of Financial Aid.

Remember, Indiana residents must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March, 10th (receive by date) in order to be considered for State of Indiana funded grants!
