Financial Aid Packages

  1. The average full-time Carroll financial aid package in 2023 —$33,337—is over half the total cost of attendance.

  3. 99% of Carroll students receive an institutional scholarship.
  4. For students who receive the maximum financial aid gift, the cost to attend Carroll is comparable to the in-state cost at Montana’s public universities. (U.S. Department of Education College Navigator, December 2021)
