Unfortunately, Carleton College doesn’t seem interested in serving many low-income students. As a Minnesota taxpayer, as well a Carleton graduate and parent of a Carleton graduate, I’ve joined others raising concerns. Minnesota taxpayers provide substantial scholarship funds to Carleton. But people wanting to help significant numbers of students from low-income families may want to contribute elsewhere.
Carleton’s faculty made the stunning decision recently to significantly DECREASE the number of credits that entering students will be allowed to transfer into the college via Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College in the Schools, or Postsecondary Enrollment Options beginning in 2026. Carleton will be more expensive. Its 2022-23 tuition, room, meals, and other fees total $78,624. Alumni and others are being asked to help provide four-year scholarships for lower- and middle-income families that wouldn’t be as necessary if Carleton accepted a year or more of dual-credit courses.
