Tuition and Financial Aid

Your Cal U education is one of the most important investments you and your family will ever make, but paying for college often seems overwhelming. The Financial Aid Office at California University of Pennsylvania is here to help. Approximately 90% of all Cal U students receive financial aid, usually in some combination of loans, grants, scholarships and work-study jobs. Both undergraduate and graduate Global Online students at Cal U are given the same careful consideration for financial aid as our other students. In all cases, the University determines the amount and type of financial aid assistance you need based on federal, state and institutional guidelines. The goal of our office is to ensure that courteous, timely, and accurate financial aid services are delivered to all students seeking assistance.
