Earlham College has earned a spot on The Princeton Review<\/em>\u2019s \u201cBest Value Colleges\u201d list<\/a> for the sixth year in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list features a select group of colleges and universities leading the nation in academics, affordability and career preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We commend\u2014and recommend\u2014each of the 209 schools that made our Best Value Colleges list for 2023,\u201d said Rob Franek, Editor-in-Chief of The Princeton Review. \u201cThey share three exceptional distinctions: stellar academics, strong career prospects for their graduates and affordable cost via generous financial aid or a comparatively low sticker price\u2014or both! For these reasons and many others, our Best Value Colleges are truly a select group. They comprise only about eight percent of the nation\u2019s 2,637 four-year undergraduate degree-granting institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rankings are based on 40 data points from surveys of administrators at more than 650 colleges. Topics covered everything from academics, cost and financial aid to graduation rates and student debt. The educational services company also factored in data from its surveys of students attending the schools as well as data from PayScale.com\u2019s surveys of alumni about their starting and mid-career salaries and job satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its \u201cBest Value Colleges\u201d list, Princeton Review<\/em> also compiled a ranking of the \u201cTop 20 Private Schools for Making an Impact.\u201d Earlham ranked 14 based on student survey responses to questions covering community service opportunities, student government, sustainability efforts and on-campus engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWidening the path to Earlham has been my priority from Day One,\u201d Earlham President Anne Houtman said. \u201cThis recognition from The Princeton Review<\/em> affirms our commitment to access and opportunity for all students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlham delivers excellence in the liberal arts through its signature student success initiative, the Epic Journey. This four-year program intentionally combines Earlham\u2019s longstanding excellence in the classroom with transformational career-discerning experiences that prepare students to thrive after graduation. The Epic Advantage, which guarantees each student up to $5,000 to participate in an internship or research experience, is a resource that is rare in higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its generous financial aid packages, Earlham recently introduced a new STEM scholarship program<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>for income-eligible students, regional scholarships<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>for any accepted students living within 150 miles campus, <\/strong>and a new summer immersion program<\/strong><\/a> for college-bound high school students. Indiana students from low- and moderate-income backgrounds can also apply for a tuition waiver through the INspire Earlham program<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlham is routinely recognized for excellence in the nation\u2019s leading educational resource guides. In the last year, U.S. News and World Report<\/em> recognized the College as one of the nation\u2019s top 100 liberal arts colleges and called out Earlham\u2019s value and commitment to undergraduate teaching. The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2023<\/em> includes Earlham as one of the nation\u2019s \u201cbest and most interesting\u201d institutions of higher education, noting the College\u2019s commitment to career preparation and its diverse and inclusive campus community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
