Understanding Your Financial Aid Offer

We’ve created Financial Aid Guidebooks for admitted students and their families to help you understand your Bennington financial aid offer. They explain your Cost of Attendance, how your aid was determined, and what resources are available to help make Bennington affordable as you plan your next steps.

For Domestic Students

Understand your award, Cost of Attendance, aid types, and next steps for you and your family.

For International Students

Learn how international aid works, what your award includes, and how to plan for expenses.

One of the best ways to learn more about Bennington is to see it for yourself. A visit gives you the opportunity to see campus and chat with a counselor.
