Hobart and William Smith Colleges are a student-centered learning environment- globally focused- grounded in the values of equity and service- developing citizens who will lead in the 21st century. The Colleges commitment to these principals was solidified in 1999 when they appointed the then director of the Peace Corps as president of Hobart and William Smith. President Mark D. Gearan has since reinforced the Colleges commitment to global understanding and study abroad opportunities- community service- and service learning- with the goal of providing these elements through contemporary facilities and state-of-the-art technology. In maintaining this environment- the Colleges create opportunities to engage faculty and students with other languages and diverse cultures. The majority of students participate in a study-abroad experience during their four years here. These experiences enhance what takes place on campus in the academic and social lives of students and it also allows the community to delve into the broader intellectual world. The academic program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges keeps this highly interactive environment alive. The academic program is set apart from peer institutions in terms of excellence and opportunity. Education takes place not only inside well-taught classes- but also outside in well-run off-campus programs and well-conceived service projects. The Colleges view civic responsibility- community engagement- and international education as integral components of a liberal arts education. This rigorous academic program challenges students minds while expanding their horizons to new worlds.

Financial Aid
Do students receive financial aid?
There are three pieces of data in this table, which are designed to show
how likely it is that an international student will receive any financial
aid from the college or university.
"Undergrads receiving any aid" shows the percentage of first-time
undergraduate students who receive any type of financial aid. However,
many types of financial aid at US colleges and universities are not
available to international students—like Pell Grants, Stafford
loans and other federal loan programs.
The second piece of data, "Undergrads receiving school grants", shows the
percentage of first-time undergraduate students that receive aid directly
from the school—often this type of aid is available to international
students.
"Average amount of school grant" shows the average amount that is provided
in this category of aid, that may be available to international students.

Test Scores
What ACT or SAT scores do I need to get in?
Many colleges and universities in the US require either the SAT or the ACT,
both standardized tests that help schools evaluate candidates.
In this chart, you can see how the middle portion of students admitted to
the school fared on these tests—those from the 25th to the 75th percent
of all accepted candidates. In other words, the chart does not show how the
bottom 25% of all accepted candidates scored, and it does not show how the
top 25% of all accepted candidates scored—but it shows how the middle
half of candidates accepted to the school scored.
If you have taken the SAT or ACT, or you plan to, you can see where your
score falls in comparison to this range, which will help you evaluate your
likelihood of acceptance to this school.
