Reduced Tuition Opportunities
Hood offers several opportunities for reduced tuition, including programs for older citizens and Hood alumnae and alumni.
Encore Program
The Encore Program enables Hood alumnae and alumni who hold a B.A. or B.S. from Hood to take undergraduate courses at one-half tuition.
Family Tuition Plan
When two or more members of the same family are enrolled at Hood College, the Family Tuition Plan provides an annual grant of $2,000 (to be divided equally between the fall and spring semesters) to the second member of the family. A family is defined as a parent, dependent child and/or dependent child’s sibling. Under the Family Tuition Plan, both members of the family must be enrolled as full-time traditional undergraduate students.
All students admitted under the Family Tuition Plan must meet the regular admissions standards of the College, as appropriate. The Family Tuition Plan applies to tuition only and does not apply to the board or other fees.
Renewal Not Retirement
Hood’s Renewal Not Retirement (RNR) program offers persons 60 years of age or older the opportunity to audit undergraduate courses. Studio and lab courses, practicums and self-directed study courses are not available for audit. The cost is $100 per course.
