Estimate your financial aid

A Skidmore education might be more affordable than you think.

Did you know that Skidmore annually gives nearly $70 million in financial aid, with 99% awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need? And that more than half of our students receive need-based grants?

It is an easy way to get a sense of affordability for your family before financial aid and admission applications are due. 记住, early awareness allows more time to consider financing options and for parents and students to have candid conversations about budgeting, student loan indebtedness and more.
