Financial Aid is defined as the combination of grants, scholarships, loans, and work study made available to eligible enrolled students to help pay the cost of tuition, fees, room and board during the academic year. Talladega College, with the assistance of the American Missionary Association, was founded in 1867 by the descendants of the slaves who helped build what was to become its first building, Swayne Hall, now a national historic site. It was chartered as a college in 1869 by the state of Alabama. Talladega College continues to attract the top five percent of students nationwide, i.e. those who have applied themselves in high school and maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or above. Our diversity is reflected in generations of students who have passed through our halls and realized that one's education doesn't end with a bachelor's degree. A new beginning, a new day, a new Talladega College where fostering leadership is a tradition. Founded in 1867, the college believes in nurturing the whole person, mind and body, and instilling values consistent with respect for all peoples and cultures. The organization of the college is designed to support the mission of the college which primarily is instruction, research and outreach. The Administration strives to provide excellent customer service. The history of Talladega College began on November 20, 1865 when two former slaves, William Savery and Thomas Tarrant, both of Talladega, met in convention with a group of new freedmen in Mobile, Alabama. From this meeting came the commitment: "...We regard the education of our children and youths as vital to the preservation of our liberties, and true religion as the foundation of all real virtue, and shall use our utmost endeavors to promote these blessings in our common country." Talladega College was selected as a top institution from nearly 500 four-year colleges and universities initially identified according to the classifications listed in the 1994 Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. Selection was based on the number and percentage of baccalaureate alumni who earned doctorate degrees in each of the basic sciences and mathematics from 1988 through 1992, the number and percentage of undergraduates who earned baccalaureate degrees in each of the basic sciences and mathematics from 1988 through 1992, and the number and percentage of baccalaureate alumni who were awarded National Science Foundation Fellowships in the sciences and mathematics from 1990 through 1994. Talladega is one of the few institutions in Alabama that has a human cadaver for anatomy instruction. View full university

Fredonia, N.Y. residents established a form of higher education beyond the "common school" when they created the Fredonia Academy in 1826. Before long, the academy was known as a regional center for teacher-training. One of the era's most notable students was Benjamin Franklin Goodrich, known today as B.F. Goodrich. In the early 1900s, after a tragic fire destroyed the Fredonia Normal School building and took the lives of six students and a janitor who attempted to save them (for more information, view this article that was published in the New York Times>>), "Old Main" was built, and for years this became the center of higher education in Fredonia, N.Y. This structure remained part of the campus for decades, and is still stands as a residential facility. From 1996 to 2012, tremendous growth took place at State University of New York at Fredonia that included the construction of new buildings and an expansion of enrollment by 25 percent, or 1,000 undergraduates. Graduate enrollment doubled, minority students quadrupled, and international students increased by a magnitude of 10.

  20. SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) was officially formed on March 19, 2014, when the State University of New York Board of Trustees unanimously approved SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher’s recommendation to merge the SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) in Albany and the SUNY Institute of Technology (SUNYIT) in Utica. The transformative merger was the product of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s pioneering vision and leadership to create an entity rooted in academia and capable of driving significant and sustained industrial and economic growth across the State of New York. As a result, SUNY Poly has emerged as the most dynamic and unique institution in the State University System with more than 7,000 scientists, researchers, engineers, students, faculty, and staff. SUNY Poly - A New Paradigm SUNY Poly represents a new and necessary paradigm for public and affordable higher education in science, engineering, and technology one that is cognizant and respectful of the customary academic enterprise, while fostering and enabling the fast evolving culture of discovery and innovation in today’s knowledge-driven global economy. SUNY Poly serves as a worldwide resource for pioneering research and development, technology deployment, education, and commercialization for the international nanoelectronics industry and is anchored by two co-equal academic locations. The history of SUNY Poly’s Utica site dates back to 1966, when Upper Division College at Herkimer/Rome/Utica was founded and began offering graduate programs to students using classrooms at a local elementary school. In 1971, the college began operating in a former mill building in West Utica, which was gradually remodeled into classrooms, offices, and a library. With growing enrollment, the institution leased three additional buildings in West Utica and one in Rome, and adopted a new name in 1977: the State University of New York College of Technology at Utica-Rome. In 1981, construction began on a new campus in Marcy. The first building, Kunsela Hall, was completed in 1984, and the college operated two campuses during a transitional period. In the 1987 fall semester, entering students attended all classes at the new campus. In 1989, the college name was changed again to the “State University of New York Institute of Technology at Utica-Rome.” Steady growth and construction has continued over the years, including a $13 million student center, a $20 million fieldhouse and athletic fields, and a $23.5 million residence hall all completed in 2011. SUNY Poly’s Utica campus offers the unique combination of tree-lined pathways, modern buildings, and rolling hills near the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains – an inspiring backdrop for challenging academics that are both rewarding and in demand.

Before the end of the school year, enrollment sky-rocketed to 104 students and faculty increased to seven. From its beginning, Tabor College has offered a broad liberal arts curriculum with a strong Christian foundation. The first two school terms in 1908-1909 included natural sciences, mathematics, English language and literature, ancient languages, history, Bible and biblical history, business, vocal music and organ, German reading and grammar. Painting and drawing were added the following year. As a college that is owned and operated by the Mennonite Brethren Church, Tabor accepts and seeks to follow the Confession of Faith of the General Conference of Mennonite Brethren, which was adopted in 1975 and its subsequent revisions. Mennonite Brethren doctrines are in agreement with those of most evangelical Christians. View full university
  22. Independent-minded, fiercely determined to see your dreams through: deep down, you know that’s who you’ve always been. Here on Sweet Briar College’s 3,250-acre campus in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, we reveal and amplify everything that makes you amazing, and help you own it in ways you never thought possible — on the athletic field, in the riding arena, in the workplace and while studying abroad. You’ll be surrounded by a family of faculty, coaches and friends who will push you, excite you, and energize you: to take what you learn into the world and take the lead. With an average class size of eight students, you’ll lead research, ask questions and forge supportive relationships with faculty that can last for decades. You’ll graduate from Sweet Briar career-ready and life-ready: you’ll know who you are and what you do best. Our students have a favorite rallying cry: “There’s nothing that you cannot do.” You’ll discover that, here, it rings true every day. Sweet Briar College prepares women (and at the graduate level, men as well) to be productive, responsible members of a world community. It focuses on personal and professional achievement through a customized educational program that combines the liberal arts, preparation for careers, and individual development. The faculty and staff guide students to become active learners, to reason clearly, to speak and write persuasively, and to lead with integrity. They do so by creating an educational environment that is both intense and supportive and where learning occurs in many different venues, including the classroom, the community, and the world. We prepare young women to excel in the modern world — and we’ve been doing it since our first students arrived in 1906. You are our sole focus. At Sweet Briar, women get all the attention, all the student leadership roles, and any career choice is open to you. We think that makes Sweet Briar pretty special. Sweet Briar College was established in 1901 by Indiana Fletcher Williams in honor of her daughter, Daisy, who died at age 16. The sole owner of Sweet Briar Plantation, Indiana left the expansive estate to create an independent college for women. From its founding, Sweet Briar has united traditional undergraduate coursework with applied learning to empower women through education in the liberal arts and sciences — graduating generations of change-makers as lawyers and legislators, humanitarians, artists, doctors and scientists and entrepreneurs. These Sweet Briar alumnae fulfill not only Indiana’s bold vision, but their own passions and ambitions. We’re also shaking up the traditional model of academic departments separated by areas of study. Instead, majors and faculty are clustered into three “centers of excellence.” Study is intense, collaborative and interdisciplinary — the building blocks of the career and life skills the liberal arts are known for: critical thinking, written and verbal communication ethics and awareness and adaptability. We reconfigured the academic calendar, too, so that there are more opportunities during the year for you to participate in high-impact learning experiences. These may include internships, research with faculty and capstone projects. Every undergraduate student is eligible for up to $2,000 to support these experiences. Three-week short terms may also be used for intensive courses taught by guest instructors who bring practical lessons from their everyday jobs. Such guests may be policy-makers and legislators, working artists from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, or accomplished alumnae who represent any career you can dream of. These are opportunities for lifelong connections and mentorships. At Sweet Briar, we invest in YOU. We’ve done so for more than 100 years. Now, we are completely resetting tuition to provide cost transparency and predictability for families of all income levels. Beginning in fall 2018, the cost of tuition, fees, room and board at Sweet Briar College will be $34,000. That’s $21,000 for tuition and fees, and $13,000 for room and board. This marks a 32 percent reduction from the published price for 2017-2018. Financial aid will continue for need-based students, and more than 200 scholarships remain available for eligible students. At Sweet Briar, we understand that a family’s financial situation doesn’t fit into neat categories. That’s why we work with you and your family one-on-one, providing thoughtful advice and personal assistance as you move through the financial aid process. A five-year Master of Arts in Teaching program combines a graduate degree with licensure preparation. The College’s Honors Program spans disciplines to foster critical thinking. And along with pre-veterinary, pre-law and renowned English and creative writing and arts programs, you can complete certificates in areas such as equine studies and arts management, create a self-designed interdisciplinary major or choose from more than 20 established programs of study. Leading each of our disciplines is a professor who’ll change the way you see the world. Our faculty’s credentials are as impressive as yours can be: published authors notable researchers in science, math and the humanities archaeologists who’ve led digs in Turkey and Kazakhstan and professors who’ve actually written textbooks on their subject matter. And because our average class size is eight students, you’ll have opportunities to get involved in your professors’ research, ask questions and connect with faculty one-on-one. View full university
  23. Since its founding in 1864, Swarthmore College has given students the knowledge, insight, skills, and experience to become leaders for the common good. Offering a liberal arts and engineering curriculum, the College is private, yet open to all regardless of financial need. It is also decidedly global in outlook, drawing students from around the world and all 50 states. The diversity of perspectives represented by Swarthmore students, faculty, and staff - including different viewpoints, identities, and histories - contributes to the community's strong sense of open dialogue and engagement with ideas and issues. So much of what Swarthmore stands for, from its commitment to curricular breadth and rigor to its demonstrated interest in facilitating discovery and fostering civic engagement, lies in the quality and passion of its faculty. A student/faculty ratio of 8:1 ensures that students have close, meaningful engagement with their professors, preparing the former to translate the skills and understanding gained at Swarthmore into the mark they want to make on the world. The College's Honors program features small groups of dedicated and accomplished students working closely with faculty an emphasis on independent learning ongoing dialogue between students and their peers, teachers, and examiners and an examination, at the end of two years’ study, by outside scholars. Swarthmore's idyllic, 425-acre arboretum campus features rolling lawns, a creek, wooded hills, and hiking trails, and is located just 11 miles from Philadelphia. With a curriculum unmatched among liberal arts colleges of its size, Swarthmore offers more than 600 courses and undergraduate research opportunities, in science, engineering, humanities, and social sciences. The College's exceptional honors program is built on the idea that engaging in dialogue is the best way to truly master material. One hallmark of the program is the small seminar-style classes in which each student has a chance to speak, as well as lead discussions. This collaborative approach fosters an environment in which students share research results, workshop papers, and continue discussions long after class meetings. Another distinctive feature is the exchange between students and external examiners who come to campus to meet with seniors, both to assess their work and enter into a dialogue about it. With training, mentorship, and support from the Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility, Swarthmore students, faculty, and staff connect with local volunteer opportunities, initiate projects to tackle some of society's greatest challenges, and incorporate community-based learning into the classroom. Swarthmore College is where intellectually passionate students think and create together for the betterment of their communities and the world. We collaborate, rather than compete. We dive deep and then put our ideas to work. We believe in the power of place, knowing that students will thrive in both our gorgeous arboretum campus, but also appreciate the easy access to downtown Philadelphia, with a train station set right at the edge of campus. We embrace the knowledge that living in a community of people with diverse backgrounds challenges our assumptions and helps us become who we want to be as learners and leaders. We understand that the financial aid process can feel overwhelming at times. You might have questions about what information is required, how it works, and how your family’s unique situation might impact the outcome of an application for financial aid. Our staff is here to help. Our application process is thorough and requires submission of family information as well as income documentation, so that we can base the financial aid decision on a holistic picture of your family’s economic situation. Once you submit your financial aid application, our Financial Aid Committee carefully considers all of your family’s detailed information, which we use to determine your family’s ability to contribute to the costs of a Swarthmore education. Although we believe that the primary responsibility to pay for college lies with students and their families, we fill in the gap when family resources do not meet our costs. We encourage you to contact our staff if you would like to discuss your individual application, or if you have general questions about how our financial aid application process works. Academic advising is directly coordinated through the office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and indirectly coordinated through academic departments. Some learning resources are coordinated through the office of the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, such as Student Disability Services, Pre-Med and Pre-Law advising, the Office of Fellowships and Prizes, and some tutors. Other resources are based in departments (Ninjas, Science Associates, PiRates, Wizards, etc.) or in designated spaces on campus (The Writing Center, Career Services). Most students use one or more of these resources during their time at Swarthmore to enhance their experience, maximize their performance, or prepare for graduate school or career. As a small, caring institution, we strive to open up advising and resources to all and encourage students to collaborate with trained peer tutors and with professional advisors. View full university
