Although each of these schools has a “sticker price” of about 50K per year, 68% percent of F&M students receive financial aid compared to 58% at Dickinson. On the other hand, an “average” student receiving financial aid at Dickinson gets a $20K institutional grant, while an “average” student receiving financial aid at F&M gets a $16,500 institutional grant per year, according to nces.ed.gov. Like all LACs, the wealthier students support the less wealthy students, but the divide appears more pronounced at Dickinson.
