Scholarships & Financial Aid
Thinking about coming to Birmingham-Southern? Wondering what this means for you?
We want to allow students to experience this quality, life-changing education. For the 2024-25 academic year, our total price is $39,500 before aid is applied.
At most private colleges, you start out with an elevated sticker price — often more than $65,000! — and then start amassing scholarship dollars to bring it within range. At many state institutions, 一开始，每学时的价格很低，然后随着项目费用的增加，成本就会攀升, extras like Greek life, and additional semesters it may take to complete your degree.
At Birmingham-Southern, 我们拥抱透明度，因此您和您的家人将从一开始就对365英国上市官网教育的价值有更清晰的认识. We’re still awarding scholarships to honor your academic achievements. And when you file a FAFSA, you’ll be considered for need-based aid as well.
你的大学教育是你对未来最重要的投资. Our goal is to make the Birmingham-Southern experience as affordable as possible.
Why is this so important to us? Because we know what you'll learn here is priceless, 从长远来看，你从伯明翰南方教育中获得的价值是值得的. That's why 365英国上市官网 has been listed a "Best Buy" by the Fiske Guide to Colleges and is ranked among the top 100 "Best Values in Liberal Arts Colleges" by Kiplinger's Personal Finance.
