If your institution has recently implemented any major financial aid policy, program, or initiative to make your institution more affordable to incoming students such as replacing loans with grants, or waiving costs for families below a certain income level please provide details:The University of the South has guaranteed tuition, room and board for the next four years for the class entering the University in August 2012. The tuition these new students will pay will remain level from the Fall 2012 through Spring 2016 semesters. In 2011, the University reduced college tuition and fees by 10 percent for the 2011-12 academic year, then announced that tuition will remain at the reduced level next year for returning students. Each of these decisions recognizes the economic realities and pressures that families face today and represents an effort to make tuition management as predictable as possible. They also allow the University to focus its financial aid where it is needed most, continuing Sewanee’s tradition of making a high-quality education possible for deserving students without regard to financial need.
