SWANNANOA – The Fiske Guide to Colleges has named Warren Wilson College as one of the top 20 “Best Buy” colleges in the U.S. for 2022. WWC is one of only 10 private colleges to make the list.

This edition marked the 16th time that the Fiske Guide to Colleges, known as “the most widely respected college guide in the country,” has named WWC as a “Best Buy” school. 

“Best Buy” schools are colleges and universities that, in the judgment of the editors, offer “outstanding educational value as determined by academic quality in relation to the net cost of attendance.”

The Fiske Guide noted the school’s North Carolina Free Tuition Plan, which guarantees that all incoming North Carolina students who qualify for federal or state need-based financial aid can attend Warren Wilson tuition-free for all four years. 

WWC also awards full-tuition scholarships to 25 incoming students whose family income levels are equal to or below $125,000 per year with its Milepost One program.
