MAKE CURIOSITY A CAREER.

FUNDING YOUR EDUCATION

A college education is a big investment. It’s also one of the best investments you can make. A U.S. Census study shows that lifetime earnings for people who go to college are $450,000 to $1.5 million more than high school graduates.

Dunwoody has a long track record of successful college graduates and is committed to continuing that legacy for generations to come. To do that, the College is focused on ensuring that Dunwoody remains affordable for all students.

Financial Aid helps bridge the gap between what students and their family can pay and what it costs to attend Dunwoody. Most Dunwoody students receive some form of financial aid, including federal and state grants, federal loans, and work study. Financial aid is available to students who qualify based on information provided in their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Our financial aid staff is dedicated to making the process simple and easy to understand.

AN EDUCATION THAT IS WORTH MORE

On average, the starting salary for a Dunwoody graduate is $47,490.

From there, the future only grows brighter.

According to an Equality of Opportunity project, 20 percent of Dunwoody graduates moved up two or more income quintiles after earning their degrees. Only one other college in Minnesota had a percentage of students who achieved this level of economic success.

And the success doesn’t stop there:

More than 40 percent of Dunwoody graduates achieve the top 20 percent of income brackets later in life. Not only does this rank Dunwoody one of the highest among other colleges in Minnesota, but also among the highest of other four-year, not-for-profit colleges in the nation.
