Endicott College
PA-8: Affordability and Access

Endicott offers a number of scholarships and grants based upon a student's financial need. The largest amount of awards are the Endicott Grants. This current year we have awarded over $18 million dollars of institutional grants and scholarships based upon financial need. Over 88% of the student body at Endicott receive some form of financial aid. Almost 34 million dollars of need and merit based scholarships, grants, loans and on-campus employment are disbursed annually, of which over $18 million are provided by Endicott College.

We also have a program for single parents. They live on campus with their children and take classes and achieve a Bachelor's degree. Employees get free tuition for themselves and their family members. In addition, both work-study and campus employment are available to low-income students.

Endicott has a campus in Boston that is targeting these students.

Each year the College establishes scholarships that help deserving current students augment government and private financial assistance. Some of these grants and scholarships will be selected by committee and no application is required. For others, the applications will be posted to our Scholarship Bulletin Board web page which is updated regularly.

Endicott assists parents and students through the information included on the Endicott Financial Aid page at www.endicott.edu/financialaid. We also will meet with families on an individual basis to assist with the process and answer any questions and concerns that they may have.

We have a single parents program. They live on campus with their children and take classes and achieve a Bachelor's degree.

Keys to Degrees: Educating Two Generations Together is designed for academically qualified single men and women, ages 18 to 24, at the time they enter the program, who are the parents of young children. Choosing from among the College’s outstanding programs of study, these young parents enjoy the opportunity to complete an undergraduate degree in an environment that supports their special needs and the needs of their children. Program benefits include campus housing and the full array of support services offered by the College. Once accepted into the program, students live on campus with their children 12 months a year. Highlights of living on campus include apartment-style accommodations with shared cooking and laundry facilities. Generally students in the program qualify for state and local vouchers that are accepted as payment for child care services by providers in the local area. Working with the director of the program, students find placements that are both educationally enriching for the children and adaptable to the schedules of the students. Workshops on a variety of subjects, counseling sessions, and a mentoring program where single parents share their experiences and successes are available to students. In addition, students in the program benefit from all the services the College has to offer including academic support, career counseling, internship advice, pastoral and personal counseling, and a wide variety of student activities and cultural events. Eligible students receive aid in the form of outright scholarship assistance and a variety of federal, state, and local grants, and loans. A payment plan is available to make students’ financial contribution to the cost of their education more convenient.

The percentage of entering students that are low income is the ratio of all U.S.-based first-time and transfer undergraduate students who began in fall 2014, applied for financial aid, and were offered a PELL grant compared to the total number of U.S.-based undergraduate students in fall 2014. The graduation rate for low income students is the percent of fall 2008 first-time freshmen who accepted a Pell Grant during their first year and completed a bachelor degree within 6 years. The percentage of student financial need met is from Common Data Set item H2 I and is the percentage of need that was met of students who were awarded any need-based aid, excluding any aid that was awarded in excess of need as well as any resources that were awarded to replace EFC. The percentage of students graduating with no interest-bearing student loan debt is the percentage of undergraduate students who graduated without any federal, state or institutional loans.
