Our Partners in Excellence
Thank you for your dedication to finding the right college fit for each and every high school student who chooses to pursue higher education. We know students have questions about F&M, and you need answers.
Financial Aid
We offer multiple forms of aid to make our extraordinary education accessible to all deserving students. If a student is admitted to F&M, we will meet 100% of their institutionally determined financial need for all four years on campus. Learn more about financial aid at F&M, including how we determine financial need, how to calculate cost, and the types of aid available.

The Value of an F&M Education
The tremendous success of F&M graduates demonstrates the tangible value of an F&M degree when compared to national outcomes. Within six months after graduation, 95% of F&M’s Class of 2022 were either employed or furthering their education. This is notably higher than the national average, which is typically in the mid-80% range.
Connect With Your Regional Rep
Each year, we connect with counselors around the globe to find the students for whom F&M is the right fit — and who are a good fit for F&M. Please connect with us whenever you’re ready. Your F&M regional representative is determined by the location of your high school.
Visit Opportunities
A campus visit is a valuable opportunity for you to experience our campus community and to learn for yourself what makes F&M a special place.

The Counselor Advisory Board
Franklin & Marshall's Counselor Advisory Board (CAB) was established in January 2022. This allows the admission office to interact with secondary school counselors from across the globe to help us here at F&M to shape the future of our efforts to serve college-going high school students. It is our top priority to put F&M at the forefront of counselor engagement.
