Financial Aid
The Office of University Financial Aid oversees financial aid disbursements for the entire university and manages aid eligibility determinations for undergraduate students and most graduate and professional students receiving federal and private aid. The Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences and the School of Medicine independently determine eligibility for their students, though our office assists with federal verification and works with both schools when special circumstances or exceptions require additional support. The Schools of Law, Nursing, and Weatherhead each have a dedicated liaison within their school who works with our office to manage their CWRU funding, while other graduate programs determine CWRU funding internally.
