Invest in our students; Invest in Hartwick.
Hartwick’s goal is not to simply evolve with the higher education landscape.
It’s to lead it.
The Cost of Education. Simplified.

Steps Toward Financial Aid
Families should complete the steps below to better understand Hartwick’s new transparent pricing and for students to receive their personalized financial aid package.
Life Balance Credit
At Hartwick, we don’t only offer extensive opportunities to create the ideal life balance — we provide the resources and financial encouragement to help your student get there. Hartwick students dedicated to developing a balanced lifestyle through career planning, outdoor recreation, club participation and other well-rounded activities can earn a $250 credit on their bill for the semester — that’s $2,000 over a four-year college career. Activities that count toward the Life Balance Credit include, but are not limited to:
- Hiking local trails
- Meeting with your advisor
- Attending sporting events
- Meeting with the Career Center
- Participating in charitable events
- Attending a campus-sponsored concert or art exhibit
- Mentoring an incoming freshman

FlightPath for Students
From your student’s first day as a Hawk, they’ll build on what they’ve learned and how they’ve changed, with key professional milestones that help them grow toward their goals. They’ll fine-tune their objectives and prepare for what’s next. Leveraging the resources of our Career Development Center, they’ll be ready to create a successful, well-balanced future.
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT
There are many ways to show your support, all of which matter to our students. When you join an event, volunteer, mentor a student or make a gift, you help the Hartwick community grow.
