Financial Aid
Applying for Aid
Complete the FAFSA form to be considered for financial aid. The majority of our students receive some form of financial assistance and even if you think you won't qualify, submitting the FAFSA may make you eligible for an award from Dean's institutional funds.
Questions?
Whether you need a hand with the FASFA, or have questions about your financial aid package or out of pocket costs, we're here to help! Schedule an appointment with a student financial planning counselor today.

would recommend Dean College to a current high school student
I love that our community is small but mighty. It makes it so I get to know so many different people - I always get to say hi to passing friends while walking to class - and the opportunities that are available (even as a freshman!) are incredible.
Dean is a place where people get to try new things and learn new things and it’s the place where you figure out everything about yourself. My favorite thing about Dean is the people. You get to know everyone and nobody cares who you are or where you come from.
My favorite thing about Dean would have to be the amount of opportunities presented to me. These opportunities taught me a lot about leadership, teamwork, and myself.
