Financial Aid

Learn about your aid options

A private college education is one of the most rewarding investments you can make in yourself and your future. At Clarke University, we are committed to delivering exceptional value, ensuring that every dollar you invest translates into personal growth, career success, and a transformative college experience.

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.

We offer a wide range of financial assistance, and 100% of Clarke students receive financial aid!  Scholarships are available for academics, athletic, fine arts, & campus engagement, in addition to federal & state grants, student loans, and federal work-study opportunities. Send us your FAFSA to see what you are eligible for!

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.
