A Shared Partnership

At Emmanuel, we know that a college education is a worthwhile investment that can

reap great rewards. We also understand that financing a quality private education can

be a challenge. That is why we believe that paying for an education is a partnership

between students, their families and the College.

Students invest in their own education by applying for scholarships and grants and

by borrowing low-cost student loans.

Parents contribute to their children’s education from savings, current income, tax

credits and through low-cost parent loans.

Emmanuel College supports our students by offering merit-based scholarships and

need-based grant aid, and by participating in all federal and state funding options,

including the Federal TEACH Grant and Yellow Ribbon Program.

A college education provides graduates with dramatic advantages and opportunities.

Over the span of one’s working life, those with a bachelor’s degree earn nearly double

that of high school graduates, they gain access to a greater job market, and they open

doors to new fields through comprehensive and interdisciplinary learning.

Research Student, Viral Pathogenesis Division, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

“Emmanuel’s proximity to the Longwood Medical and Academic Area (LMA) encouraged me to take the initiative and contact Beth Israel in hopes of gaining experience. I served as a research student and volunteered in their emergency department. I learned so much from both these experiences.”

Merit ScholarshipsEmmanuel awards merit-based scholarships to academically competitive applicants,

with amounts ranging from $5,000 to full tuition. Students who submit a completed

admission application by the February 15th application deadline are automatically

considered for these scholarships and receive notification with their acceptance letter.

Transfer students receive scholarship consideration if their admission application is

complete and submitted by April 1st.

Jordan Coulombe ’12Secondary Education

Presidential Scholarship RecipientHonors Program Student

“I have had countless opportunities toget involved on campus, serving as a student government association president, a resident assistant, an athlete, and a writing fellow among other things. Being awarded a Presidential Scholarship was a deciding factor in my attending Emmanuel. It allowed me to take advantage of this exceptional experience.”

Need-Based Financial AidIn addition to merit-based scholarships, Emmanuel offers need-based grants and

federal and state grants, scholarships and student loan and employment programs.

Students interested in applying for need-based financial aid must complete the

2012-2013 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Emmanuel

College Application for Financial Aid. The FAFSA can be completed at

www.fafsa.gov on or after January 1, 2012 and the Emmanuel College Application

is available under the “Tuition & Aid” section of the Emmanuel website.

Although we encourage you to complete these applications as soon after January 1st

as possible, the priority filing date for Emmanuel College is February 15, 2012.

Emmanuel’s school code for the FAFSA is 002147. We also encourage you to use the

IRS Data Retrieval Tool when completing the FAFSA online. If you do not use this

tool, you may need to request tax transcripts from the IRS to document income.

Student Employment Students can gain valuable work experience and earn spending money through

on- or off-campus job opportunities. Emmanuel provides on-campus jobs, including

positions with academic departments, Athletics, Admissions, Residence Life and the

library. Our Boston location affords students the opportunity to find off-campus jobs

within a short walk from campus, as well as the chance to gain real-world experience

through internships.

Internship and job listings are conveniently posted on our Internships and Career

Development website and a job fair is held on campus at the start of each semester.

Tony Carter-Hill ’11Graphic Design

Student Employee, Emmanuel’s Office of Marketing Communications

“My hope was to gain more experience in graphic design while working in the Office of Marketing Communications. Yet it was the filming and editing projects that I enjoyed the most. Now I am planning to attend film school. I would not have realized my interest in this medium had it not been for this opportunity.”

Areas of Study

With more than 40 majors, minors and concentrations to explore at Emmanuel

College, students will flex muscles of both the mind and the heart as they develop

the ability to acquire and evaluate knowledge, and the imagination to shape new ways

of perceiving, thinking and creating. Here every class is taught by a professor, not a

teaching assistant. Creating a deep, personal student/faculty relationship that begins

day one. This is an engaged, energetic faculty with global connections in their fields.

The classes are small; the horizon is huge.
