Grants and gifts received by the College through the generosity of the United Methodist Church, foundations, friends, alumni, and others help to reduce the difference between the actual costs of providing a quality education and the tuition charged. 

Over 90% of TWC Students receive some form of financial aid.  Please contact the enrollment office for an estimate of scholarships based on ACT/GPA.

Deposits
Each new, full-time student accepted into the Athens Day Campus program must pay a $100 tuition deposit immediately upon acceptance to the college. The tuition deposit will be applied to the first semester tuition and charges. The tuition is fully refundable through May 1 for the Summer term, May 31 for the Fall term, and October 31 for the Spring term.

Students who decide to enter the college a term other than the one for which they were originally accepted will have their deposit moved to the new term, but the original refund date will apply. Requests for refunds must be made in writing to the Director of Admissions.

The remaining balance is due at Registration/Check-In (with 25 percent in August and the remaining 25 percent in January).
