Tuition Payment Plan

Grove City College has a tuition payment plan that allows students to spread annual tuition and room and board payments over a 10-month or 12-month period.

Enrollment forms for this plan may be obtained by calling the Student Accounts Coordinator at (724) 458-2209.

Grove City College does not accept any federal financial aid. The College will not permit a student to register for classes if the student has accepted any federal financial aid for that semester.

The College makes an effort to keep charges as low as possible—in effect, providing every enrolled student with significant financial assistance.

The College has over a 90 percent acceptance rate for Grove City students going to medical school. Advisors do not discourage any interested biology, molecular biology, or premed students from applying.

Physics and applied physics/computers program offers in-house research opportunities in the optics lab; internships are available during the summer.
