Scholarships & Aid
Gettysburg College is committed to working with students and their families to ensure that the ability to pay does not become an obstacle to a Gettysburg education.

The brochure, "Scholarships and Aid: Financial options for the college years," provides an overview of the various financial alternatives including sample financial aid awards. Financial aid packages offered by Gettysburg College are competitive with those available from our peer institutions.
