Financial Aid

As a prospective Colgate student, you are considering an outstanding four-year college experience that requires a significant investment. Many people assume that they cannot afford a selective liberal arts college such as Colgate.

facesBut the university’s need-based financial aid policy can assist families in piecing together the necessary resources to insure the financing of four years of college costs.

If you are interested in attending Colgate but worried about costs, we encourage you to apply for financial aid.  

Colgate is committed to meeting the demonstrated financial need of all admitted students; and financial aid awards typically consist of grants, a student loan, and a campus job opportunity. Generally Colgate Grant funds represent the largest portion of a regular financial aid award.
