IS WAKE AFFORDABLE?
Fortunately, Wake Forest has a generous financial aid program and a number of academic and debate scholarships. The University will meet any need as determined by the FAFSA/FAF. Many of our debaters have Presidential, Carswell, Reynolds, and other academic scholarships. The "typical" Carswell scholar has SATs of above 1450, and is the top 1.5 percent of their class . We will be happy to discuss these and other scholarships with you. Applications can be obtained from Admissions (links below).
As any good guidance counselor would tell you, the best strategy in choosing a college is not to count any college out on the basis of cost. You can only know the true cost after you have applied for aid and scholarships. Then, you can compare what different schools cost you as opposed to an "average" student.
Finally, we should note that nothing worth having is without cost. We know that the mix of academic and debate opportunities at Wake Forest is unique. The efforts of our current and former students demonstrate that it's worth it.
