The Guilford College Commitment
"With the rising costs of education, finances are a serious concern for families. In my experience, students and parents are many times astonished that a Guilford College education is attainable. Our office is committed to communicating with families regarding federal, state, and institutional financial aid opportunities that are available to help defray their costs."
