Tulane Admission

College is expensive, but Tulane offers merit and need-based scholarships to many admitted students as well as other financial assistance programs that help to cover tuition and fees. Tulane considers ALL admitted students for merit scholarships, and our review process is need-blind.

Financial aid packages are typically composed of grants and need-based scholarships, loans, and part-time student employment. Merit, ROTC, and athletic scholarships are also available–and Louisiana students may qualify for special awards.

A special application procedure must be followed for those wishing to be considered for two of our merit scholarships:  the Dean's Honor Scholarship and the Community Service Scholarship.  All applicants are considered for other partial merit scholarships, ranging from $17,000 to $24,000 per year.

Tulane's Office of Financial Aid, together with Federal Government, determines an applicant's financial need and awards aid to meet that need. Tulane requires that both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and  CSS Profile forms are submitted for students seeking need-based aid.
