Cost and Financial Aid
Planning for college expenses is easier when you’ve got an expert on your side. We’re here to help.
One way to understand the motivation behind the new Global Water Research Institute
at Hope College is to consider this statistic from the U.N.: An estimated 2.2 billion
people worldwide are living without access to safe water. While other types of post-secondary education help students land their first job,
the 4-year degree program remains the best path to a career that includes advancement
and professional growth. Hope had garnered 1,000 deposits for the Class of 2026 by the end of May 1, the date
recognized as National College Decision Day by colleges and universities around the
country. Hope’s previous record was 947 deposits in May of 2012. Hope College has announced the “Anchored Tuition Pledge,” committing to hold tuition
at the starting rate for each incoming class beginning with the fall 2022 semester
— and to keep it at the present level for all current students. The college’s new Hope Forward initiative seeks to fully fund tuition for every student
up front. While that’s the most tangible goal, it’s only one of several.
