Financing your education At Emory University, we think choosing a college should be based on fit, not finances. That’s why we are committed to meeting 100 percent of demonstrated financial need for all accepted domestic students. In fact, about half of our undergraduates receive financial aid, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to making an Emory education affordable.
Our multifaceted approach includes need-based financial aid (including grants, work-study, and loans), merit-based scholarships, and programs such as Emory Advantage and QuestBridge, making an Emory education accessible to all.
