Finlandia named a 2017 Best Value School

HANCOCK, MI--   Finlandia University is one of 80 schools nationwide to be recognized by University Research & Review as a 2017 Best Value School.

“We work extremely hard to make sure Finlandia University remains affordable to people of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Midwest as a whole,” said Director of Student Financial Services Sandra Turnquist, who noted that 100 percent of the university’s full-time domestic students received financial aid during the 2016-17 academic year. “We’re one of the most affordable four-year private universities in the Midwest, which is something we’re proud of.”

This is the first time Finlandia has been recognized on this list. FinnU was one of five colleges in Michigan to be recognized and the only ELCA college on the list. 

Founded by former college and university presidents and CEOs, and advised by experienced academics and outside experts, University Research & Review has awarded its Best Value School designations since 2013.

The full list of 80 colleges and universities can be found at bestvaluecolleges.org. For information on University Research & Review visit urandr.org.
