| If
you think the only difference between a public and private university
is the price tag, think again. The bottom line cost between
the two may vary only slightly when you factor in financial
assistance. That's the way it is at KWU - where grants, scholarships
and other funds can bring tuition cost in line with that of
a state university.
If the cost at a public or private university
is much the same, there the similarity ends. Public institutions
can't come close to providing many of the benefits that characterize
Kansas Wesleyan University. At KWU, professors get to know
you personally and care about your success. Thanks to small
classes, you can look forward to lively discussions and individualized
instruction. A close-knit campus community gives you the opportunity
to be known and to make a name for yourself. Still, those
are only a few of the benefits.
The small amount of time it takes to apply
for financial assistance translates into big dividends. For
all you receive in return, it's well worth the effort.
