Founded in 1849, Hiwassee College has established itself as one of the south's premier Liberal Arts colleges. Hiwassee was founded on the philosophy that all students should be offered the opportunity to pursue an educational program at the college of their choice. Further, that choice should not be made solely on financial considerations.

The cost of tuition at a private college is typically higher than a state institution. However, Hiwassee College is one of the most economically competitive private institutions in the nation. This makes the high quality educational experience that our students receive very attractive in today's marketplace. Further, eighty percent of our students enjoy the benefits of our student financial assistance program in scholarships, grants, loans and student employment.

Education is an investment in your future. It is an investment that should include a private, Liberal Arts education where you will receive a quality-conscious, well-rounded experience. This is the type of educational experience you will find at Hiwassee College.

Hiwassee College is committed to assist you in securing all available resources in financial aid funding. While the primary responsibility for meeting educational expenses lies with the student and the family, we work to provide the additional resources that will make college costs manageable. Our goal is to provide an exceptional educational experience at an affordable cost to the student and the family.
