Whether it is scholarships, grants or loans, CUKC has several resources and ways to help undergraduate students pursuing their degree. The Financial Aid Office is your resource to find out how to apply for and manage your aid while you are at Cleveland.
Financial aid breaks down into two main categories: gift aid that does not need to be repaid (grants and scholarships) and borrowed aid that must be repaid (loans). While gift aid is preferred, many students may need to use loans to help cover the cost of their education.
Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in determining your eligibility for federal, state and institutional grants and scholarships. The FAFSA is also used as your application for federal student loans and Federal Work-Study. Also, there are private loan options to help with living expenses and other out of pocket costs, if needed.
No matter if you are an incoming student who has just graduated from high school, a transfer student who is interested in our programs, or an adult learner who is making a career shift, our knowledgeable Financial Aid Specialists are here to help.
Applying for financial aid and scholarships can seem overwhelming. Our financial aid specialists will help you evaluate the cost of your education, including how to finance it through scholarships and Federal Student Aid programs. We can also assist you in determining your eligibility and in applying for financial aid.
