Salem College guides you through each step of the process of becoming a Salem student.
Congratulations again on your acceptance to Salem College!

Today, you gain a network of students, faculty, staff, and thousands of alumnae from around the world who will join you on your journey to an exceptional life!
Now, we invite you to take the next steps:
Visit salem.edu/deposit to make your $250 non-refundable enrollment deposit, which will hold your place in the class. You will need your Salem Student ID number, which you can find in your acceptance letter at admissions.salem.edu! The letter also has all the details about your merit scholarship, if applicable, and more!
If you are applying for the Spring or Fall 2025 term as a full-time student, you will want to immediately visit studentaid.gov to complete your 2025-26 FAFSA form, and include Salem’s FAFSA code: 002960. That will allow us to immediately provide you with an Award Letter containing any need-based Federal and/or State grants, scholarships, and/or loans for which you are eligible. Then head to the New Student Roadmap, where you can complete the few items necessary to get you ready to begin!
Take a look at our entire website, our programs, our student life, our outcomes – and get ready for the experience of a lifetime! Soon you will be on the road for your own journey to Salem, where we are eager to welcome you!
