2024 Wesleyan Scholarships

Wesleyan net price is at $17,719.00 per year and will likely continue climbing like all colleges around the U.S. There are various ways to combat the steep rises in college tuition, and scholarships can be a key ingredient in reducing the overall cost of Kentucky Wesleyan College. Wesleyan awards an average of $22,907.00 to each student, which can help alleviate some of the financial burden. However, most families will need to find other sources of funding to bridge the remaining tuition gap.
