Financing a college education is an important consideration for nearly every student.  At Case Western Reserve University, we realize that increases in tuition, fees, and other expenses, combined with rising prices for other purchases that families incur, make it difficult for many students and parents to finance these costs themselves.

At Case, we operate a sophisticated program of financial aid and scholarship opportunities to assist students and to ease the financial burden that a college education may represent.  We believe that every applicant offered admission should be able to attend, and that no student should be denied an education at Case simply for financial reasons.

Each year approximately 80 percent of our undergraduate students receive assistance from us, through need-based financial aid, merit-based academic awards and scholarships, or a combination of the two.  You may be eligible for either or both forms of assistance.  Explore the possibilities by applying for financial aid.
