Paying for college

An Alverno education is more affordable than you might think: Nearly 100% of full-time undergraduate students who sought financial aid received assistance. Alverno’s designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution — the first in Wisconsin — gives ALL of our students, no matter their background, access to additional federal grants and scholarships. Our financial aid department is happy to walk you and your student through the process.
