Financial Aid

Learn your aid options

Higher education is one of the most rewarding ways to invest in yourself—and your future. We wholeheartedly believe in value, and at Clarke University we make your investment worth every cent.

Consider us your aid ambassadors. We will review your situation and help you create an action plan for financing your education, advising and helping you every step of the way.

As a private institution, we are able to offer a variety of forms of financial assistance, which means that 100% of Clarke students receive financial aid. Some of the many different aid opportunities available include merit scholarships, athletic talent, and fine arts awards, federal and state aid, undergraduate student loans, and federal work-study or campus employment.

Undergraduate Student Loans

Sometimes federal, state and institutional gift aid do not provide enough funding to meet all educational expenses. For students needing additional assistance, funding is also available through student loans. Borrowed funds are then paid back to the lender in installments.
