Financial Aid

Shepherds College is in the process of gaining accreditation through AdvancedEd. Upon successful completion of the accreditation process, we anticipate students being eligible for the typical grants and loans available for college students.

Currently, a limited amount of need-based scholarships are available through Shepherds College. Various states also have funding programs that may help pay for a Shepherds College education. Please contact the Admissions office at 262.878.6351 or email here to learn about these options.
