Our promise to Ohio’s neighbors

We proudly support students from states bordering Ohio with the Stateside Promise Scholarship, a $100,000 award distributed as $25,000 annually across four years. This applies to students living and attending school in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. When you apply to Kenyon, you automatically qualify — no additional application is required.

Apply to Kenyon

We meet 100% demonstrated financial need for all students.

We believe the most powerful college experience is a full college experience, where every student has access to every opportunity, regardless of financial means. This is why our tuition and fees are radically inclusive.

  • One Rate Housing

    Whether you live in campus apartments, program houses, suites or traditional residence halls, the rate is the same. 

  • Unlimited Dining

    No taps, swipes or turnstyles in dining at Kenyon, which means you can eat as often as you need or want to. 

  • Free Laundry

    No need to hunt for quarters or wait until your next paycheck is loaded at Kenyon to do your laundry. Laundry is included as part of your total package, and free for all students.

  • No Course Fees

    There are no extra fees for labs, studios or course related expenses. What you study and how it’s delivered shouldn’t be hampered by cost concerns.

Application-based scholarships

You also can apply for a talent scholarship, or for our KEEP and STEM scholarship programs that eliminate the loan and work-study portion of a financial aid package. If you qualify for the Stateside Promise Scholarship and other Kenyon-funded scholarships, the scholarship with the highest value will be awarded.

Start your application to Kenyon. Our Early Decision 1 deadline is November 15, and our Early Decision 2 and Regular Decision deadline is January 15.
