Grinnell College
Grinnell College is a private four-year undergraduate college that offers a liberal arts education. It's been recognized for offering one of the most rigorous and challenging academic curriculums of any liberal arts college in the nation and for its focus on social responsibility. It was established in 1846 and is located, as its name suggests, in Grinnell, Iowa.Grinnell is one of just a few liberal arts colleges that have an "open" curriculum policy. Students are allowed, even encouraged, to develop their own major curriculum. As such, students are able take any courses they desire as they work toward the completion of their bachelor's degree. Students work with a guidance couselor within their major department to select classes that are in line with their major and career aspirations. The only general education requirement for graduation at Grinnell is the First-Year Tutorial and a critical analysis/writing skills class.
In comparison with other undergraduate liberal arts colleges, Grinnell offers a gracious amount of need-based and merit-based financial aid and assistance. Approximately 90% of Grinnell students receive some sort of financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants or student loans. Nearly a quarter of Grinnell students receive federal Pell Grants. On average, students receiving financial aid receive over $25,000 to cover college expenses.
