How to Apply

You’ve learned about us. Now we look forward to learning about you.

We’re looking to assemble a student body with a variety of perspectives and experiences. Your academic record will speak for itself. But what else matters? While reviewing your application, we’ll also consider your extracurricular involvement in your community, your special talents and achievements, and your potential to contribute to the 17Թ classroom and residential community.

Our best advice is to be yourself. There's no formula for getting in. Creative, soulful, funny, introspective—all words to describe some of our most memorable applicants, but the common thread is always authenticity.

    GREAT NEWS! We’ve eliminated our application fee—applying to 17Թ is now completely free.

      Financial Aid

      17Թ meets 100% of the demonstrated financial need for all U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and undocumented students. That means that the College will help cover the gap between the total cost of attendance and how much a family can afford to pay.

      If you plan to apply for need-based financial aid at 17Թ, you will need to submit your financial aid applications (FAFSA and CSS Profile) by the same deadline that you are applying for admission. International citizens have different requirements for financial aid consideration.

      No. 17Թ does not charge an application fee. We believe that cost should never be a barrier to opportunity, and we want every student to feel welcome and encouraged to apply—no fee, no waiver needed.
