Undergraduate 金融援助

The FAFSA is changing for the 2024-25 year! The updated federal aid form was made available around December 31, 2023. Cedarville University (and other colleges) will likely begin receiving results sometime in the middle of 3月. We will begin processing financial aid offers as soon as possible after that time. We apologize for the delay! Read more about the FAFSA变化, and check this page often for updates. [Updated Feb 5, 2024]

去年, 100% of incoming freshmen received financial aid at Cedarville, typically a combination of merit-based and need-based university scholarships. 联邦贷款, on-campus employment, private education loans, and payment plans are designed to fill in the gap.

Most types of financial aid awards fall within two categories:

  • Gift aid refers to awards that do not have to be paid back, such as scholarships and grants.
  • Self-help aid refers to awards that require something in return from the student in order to receive funds, such as loans and student employment.
    • Loans: Must be repaid according to the terms and conditions of each loan.
    • Employment: The student obtains a job, 工作时间, and is then paid as part of student payroll for the hours worked. Their wages are deposited directly into their bank account.

If you or your family have special or unusual circumstances, please contact the 金融援助 office. Our staff will work with you to review your situation and determine if we are able to provide additional assistance to you.
