Tuition and Financial Aid

The value of a Dominican education extends well beyond the college years, making investment in a Dominican education one of the most important and worthwhile decisions you and your family will make.  Yet, financing education and managing college costs can seem challenging.  The good news is that Dominican students receive significant financial support from a variety of sources including Dominican scholarships and grants, federal and state grants, federal and private loans, work study, and external agency support.  In fact, more than 75% of students at Dominican receive aid to help manage college costs, and more than 90% of undergraduate freshmen receive scholarship or grant aid.

We are here to help!  Dominican’s financial aid office staff endeavors to guide students and families through one of the most complex aspects of college enrollment—managing college costs.  The mission of the financial aid office is to enable the success of students at Dominican by providing accurate and efficient services while distributing limited financial aid resources in a fair and equitable manner.  Services you may expect to receive include financial aid advising on the application process and availability of aid, processing of financial aid scholarships, grants, loans, and work study, and information on where and how to find external sources of financial aid.
