“I chose Bethany not only for its lacrosse program, but for the small community. I knew I needed to be more than just a number in the classroom, and Bethany gave me that and more!”

Financial Aid

At Bethany, we’re here to help make your dreams come true. If you’re like most Bethanians, then before you can take part in our life-changing academic programs, you’ll need some help with the cost of tuition. We’ll work to provide you with the maximum amount of financial aid you’re eligible to receive.
