Affordability

The average financial aid award for the academic year 2022-2023 was $62,570. Our financial aid meets 100% of determined need, and consists of grants (which do not need to be repaid) and the expectation that students will work in a part-time College job, if eligible. Our financial aid decisions are loan-free, however, your family might choose to borrow a loan to pay some educational expenses.

My Swat Story

Swarthmore's students, staff, faculty, and alumni bring a wide array of experiences and perspectives to this campus. But one thing that unites all of us is passion for the work that we do for the common good. Read stories from a broad spectrum of Swatties about their experiences and picture yourself connecting with a thoughtful, creative, and determined community.
