About

Scholarship support at Denison is about more than covering tuition — it’s a game-changer that allows students to pursue their dreams without being burdened by debt. By ensuring that the students we admit can actually afford to attend Denison, we open possibilities for families of all financial backgrounds, including middle-income students.

When you give to scholarships, you’re helping to ensure that Denison meets the full demonstrated financial need of all students — a rare commitment among U.S. colleges. And you’re giving students the chance to make decisions based on their curiosities and passions, not on their financial limitations. Denison students can conduct research, build careers, engage in off-campus study, handle unexpected costs with confidence, and launch into their lives without taking crippling debt with them.

Make a gift to one of the areas below and change lives through scholarships and financial aid at Denison.
