Your Investment in the Future

A Catawba Education: It's Worth It
Catawba Ranks as High ROI College

The cost of a college education is an investment in the future of an individual. Very few investment opportunities offer the potential return offered by a college education. Catawba College is committed to making our educational experience as affordable as possible. Every student's application for financial need is carefully evaluated based on Federal guidelines and the college's goal of providing educational opportunity to qualified students.

This year Catawba will provide over six million dollars in direct aid to students. As a result of this commitment, the actual, out-of-pocket cost of attendance at Catawba College can surprisingly be much less than other comparably priced, and even lower priced, institutions. This commitment to providing an affordable education has earned the college recognition in recent issues of The Princeton Review's Best Colleges and U.S. World and News Report's Best Regional Colleges in the South.

Before you make your final college decision, talk with our helpful financial aid counselors to determine what your direct cost will be here versus other institutions you might be considering.
