  • Equity: Calvin will award financial aid fairly, equitably, and consistently.

When you choose Calvin, you receive a remarkable value for your time and money.

U.S. News & World Report places Calvin high on the Midwest's list of Best Comprehensive Bachelor's Colleges. Recognized by the Templeton Foundation among "Colleges that Encourage Character Development," we're also in the top three percent of four-year private colleges whose students go on to earn a Ph.D. The Fiske Guide to Colleges also selected Calvin as one of only 21 "Best Buy" private colleges in the nation.

Calvin's national designation as a "Best Buy" means just that: At this college, the return on your investment far outweighs the original cost. But our moderate price tag doesn't stop us from trying to help with finances.
