Financial Aid

Welcome to the home page for the Student Financial Services Office. Our goal is to assist families through the financial aid process and to help them identify sources of aid so that a Houghton education is affordable.  Learn about how and when to apply for financial aid, as well as the many scholarship and grant awards that Houghton offers.  Here is a sampling...

Heritage and Chamberlain Scholarships: These $15,000 and $10,000 scholarships are awarded to students based on their academic achievement.  Chamberlain and Heritage scholars have the added benefit of being paired with a faculty member for one-on-one mentoring and research opportunities

Wesley Full Tuition Grant Program: this program allows 25 new students to attend Houghton tuition free.
