How does financial aid work?
Understanding how financial aid works for college can be tricky. We have broken down some of the most common ways to receive financial aid for college.
Financial aid
Colleges and universities are now receiving FAFSA information from the federal government. Bluffton’s financial aid office is sending aid offers as quickly as possible to students with fully completed, processed FAFSAs.
Nothing should ever stand in the way of the person you were meant to become.
We offer a wide range of scholarships based on academic achievement, musical or artistic talent, community involvement
and more. Use the Scholarship Calculator to calculate your academic scholarship.
- Bluffton is in the Top 10 Percent in financial aid given among private four-year colleges and universities in our state and...
- Tuition is below the average amount in those same schools.
