Tuition and Fees

Summer Direct Charges:

If you would like to take summer courses plan your schedule in advance with your academic adviser. It is unlikely you will be eligible for any financial aid during summer months. Costs vary based on the amount of credit hours for which you are registered. Up-to-date summer course costs can be found in the Academic Course Catalog.

Scholarship Information

Franklin College values diversity and the contributions that international students bring to their classrooms. For this reason, all admitted international students are offered a renewable scholarship up to $20,000 USD per year towards their education at Franklin. No additional application is required to qualify for this scholarship. Exchange and sponsored students do not qualify for this scholarship.

  • Scholarship letters
  • Lines of credit
  • Governmental funding

Unacceptable Financial Documents include:

Property assessments
