Let us show you what Kenyon is made of.
We make world-class, world-ready graduates. We make STEM scholars who
go on to earn more doctorates than graduates of any Ivy. We make scholar-athletes,
adding to the winningest NCAA Division III legacy — 62 national titles and the second-highest number of NCAA Postgraduate Scholars in the country. We make Fulbright Fellowships a well-trod path. We make graduate school a natural next step.
We make access real. Ranked top-10 for financial aid by the Princeton
Review — and among the few colleges that meet 100% of demonstrated need
— Kenyon opens doors for talented students, with both need-based and merit aid.
We keep making Kenyon a world-class destination. In the last decade,
unprecedented donor investment has reshaped our iconic campus: a new academic quad, a soaring modern library, and apartment-style housing.
