The University of Evansville has been named among the top 30 best colleges for financial aid in the US college rankings, according to LendEDU.
The rankings take into consideration need-based financial aid, non-need-based financial aid, and financial aid for international students at 829 colleges and universities across the country. The study is based on data from the National Center for Education Statistics’ Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and Peterson’s Undergraduate Financial Aid Database.
“We are proud to be recognized for the way we make life-changing educational experiences attainable for students of all income levels,” said Dr. Jill Griffin, interim vice president for enrollment and marketing. “The median student loan debt for our graduates is just under $27,000. Our generous financial aid along with a stellar four-year graduation rate, high starting salaries, and job placement rates above 95% all combine to make the University a tremendous value to students. Perhaps most exciting is that students can carry over their financial aid to study abroad at Harlaxton, the University’s study abroad center in the UK. This makes international travel a real possibility for students who have never dreamed of this.”
