UNIVERSITY FINANCIAL AID

Explore the possibilities: apply for Financial Aid.

At Case Western Reserve University, we understand that financing a college education is an important consideration for nearly every student. We realize that increases in tuition, fees, and other expenses make it difficult for many students (and their parents) to finance the cost of attending a college or university without some form of financial assistance. To that end, 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.

Each year approximately three fourths of our undergraduate students receive assistance, either in the form of need-based financial aid (loans, grants, work study) or merit-based academic awards and scholarships, or both. Sources of this support are many and varied—many internal and others external to the University. They can best be explored by applying for financial assistance, since you may be eligible for either or both forms of assistance.

We know that financial aid can be a complex topic and we hope that you find this website helpful. It contains information about the various forms of financial assistance and scholarship opportunities, procedures for applying for this assistance, and the criteria used in selecting recipients. Thank you for considering Case Western Reserve University and good luck in your academic career.
