Affordability

A Great Education at a Price That’s Right for You 

At Wilson, you get an excellent private education for a surprisingly low price. Virtually every family qualifies to receive financial aid, which makes the cost of an education at our prestigious college very affordable.

Some families may think that they cannot pay for a private education. In reality, Wilson is a better value than many public institutions. When you look beyond the published tuition, you will see that Wilson offers financial aid resources that make our private education significantly affordable—in many cases, even more affordable than a public university. 

You can graduate in four years, enroll in small classes, and be challenged by a dedicated faculty. You can take advantage of our career development program to be prepared for the job market or for graduate or professional school. More than 99% of our students receive some type of financial aid and they often tell us that Wilson is actually less expensive than they originally thought.
