AN AFFORDABLE
EDUCATION
At Georgian Court, more than 99% of students receive some sort of financial aid, whether it’s in the form of scholarships, grants, or loans. We invest in our students and believe everyone should be able to attend college. Yasmin Amaro-Garcia, a nursing major at Georgian Court, offers some great advice to prospective students: “The lesson I quickly learned was to take that initiative of seeking out on-campus employment, scholarships, and grants offered within the university, as well as within the community. And if loans were necessary, I also learned to become fully educated on what I was agreeing to, to minimize the risks of carrying loans for an extensive period.” Find out how financial aid at GCU can make your college education more accessible and affordable.
