Financial Aid for Prospective Students

College costs can seem daunting, but there are many avenues of aid and scholarships available for you to explore.

This past year alone, Clark University awarded approximately $36 million in financial assistance. Seventy percent of the first-year class received need or merit-based scholarships and more than 90 percent received some form of financial assistance.

We want to provide the Clark experience for every talented student who believes Clark is the right fit. The quality of education, the close student-faculty relationship, the emphasis on critical thinking, and the career preparation that are the trademarks of Clark are valuable for a lifetime. We will work closely with you and your family to explore a wide range of financial options, including need-based aid and merit-based scholarships.

Financial aid eligibility is based upon the previous year’s income. For example, students applying for the 2010-2011 academic year will list income information for 2009. If actual income information for the year is not available by the deadlines, please estimate to the best of your ability.
