Financial Aid
Multiple Funding Sources Help Ease the Burden of College Tuition
As college costs rise, finding funding sources to afford a top-flight education at colleges such as Juniata becomes a collaboration between the institution, the student and the family of the student. Many private colleges use endowed and annual scholarships to help incoming students defray tuition costs. In addition, families can use student loans, state and federal grants and work-study programs to help pay for four years of learning.
Two Juniata students, Adam Bergstein '06, a senior from Altoona, Pa. studying IT, and Leah Yingling '06, a senior from Martinsburg, Pa. studying education, (along with their parents) have graciously agreed to help us illustrate that it indeed takes "a village" of funding sources to help Juniatians come to the College.
