A Shared Approach 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 with 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.

Jenny Saint-Aubyn ’11 Biology, Pre-Med Concentration 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. Now, I serve as a research student and volunteer in their emergency department. I’m learning so much from both these experiences.”
