Important Next Steps
Send in your deposit by May 1
To reserve your spot in the incoming class, send your deposit by May 1. The deposit is $200, applied directly to your tuition, and is fully refundable if the refund is requested in writing before May 1. After May 1, Carthage will accept deposits on a space-available basis.
Visit campus
#carthageviews are better in person! We have many great events, including visit programs, athletics, theatre, music, and so much more! All visitors will receive a $1,000 per year Visit Grant ($4,000 over four years) as part of their Carthage financial aid package.
File the FAFSA
We recommend that you file the FAFSA in late fall of your senior year of high school for maximum Carthage financial aid consideration. Carthage’s code is 003839. A copy of your FAFSA will be sent to Carthage so we can put together your financial aid award.
