For twelve years, Belhaven University, previously Belhaven College, has been
named in The Student Guide to America’s 100 Best College Buys,
demonstrating our commitment to keeping your college education affordable.
Approximately 90 percent of the students attending Belhaven University receive some
form of financial assistance, including federal and state grants, loans and
work-study, as well as a variety of institutional scholarships and grants.
Because Belhaven University aims to make a
Christian education possible for any student, we work with you and your family
in a financial partnership. Every Belhaven student benefits from our commitment
to offering high quality, affordable education—an endeavor that begins with
costs well below the national average for four-year private colleges. Our
financial aid programs are generated from the basic premise that college costs
are primarily a family responsibility, but our merit-based and need-based
assistance in partnership with the family can assist with expenses.
If you have questions, please call 1-800-960-5940 (toll free) or 601-968-5933 (local) or e-mail studentaid@belhaven.edu.
