Alvernia's approach and process to admissions and financial aid help change a daunting process to one of support and understanding. A dedicated team works directly with students and families to identify the best options that work for their unique situations. Through a rolling admission process, prospective students may apply to Alvernia at any time. Multiple start dates throughout the year allow accepted students to begin a program of study at an accommodating time.
Gaining admission to Alvernia is based on a detailed review of each applicant. Whether a traditional age undergraduate, adult learner or graduate student, consideration is given to accomplishments, goals and potential impact within the university community. Investing in an Alvernia education is affordable with tuition costs below the national average for private liberal arts institutions and an array of financial aid options. At least 98% of students receive some type of financial aid support.
Keeping on track is important throughout the process, and prospective students are encouraged to work with an admission team member to submit all materials and meet deadlines.
