Private colleges rated for value
Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine offers a list of the 100 Best Values in Private Colleges and Universities for 2008-09, ranking the 100 schools with excellent academics while keeping their costs to a minimum.
The full list is printed in the February issue.
Kiplinger’s has selected these three private schools from our state.
* No. 27: Whitman College, Walla Walla.
* No. 37: Gonzaga, Spokane.
* No. 39: Whitworth, Spokane.
“Families hit by the economic downturn may feel that private institutions are out of their financial reach,” says Janet Bodnar, editor of Kiplinger’s. “Most of the top-notch schools on the Kiplinger 100 offer generous financial aid packages. And, for those who earn too much to qualify for need-based aid, many of the colleges on our list offer hefty scholarships to a few outstanding students or smaller merit awards to a bigger pool.”
