Undergraduate Financial Aid

Emerson’s Office of Financial Aid works with students and families to make the financial aid process clearer, more manageable, and more personal. From applying for aid to understanding your offer, comparing costs, exploring student employment, and planning for the years ahead, you will be able to make informed choices with the help of our team.

More than 90% of Emerson families receive some form of financial assistance. We encourage you to apply for financial aid, including merit scholarships awarded by the Office of Undergraduate Admission, need-based grants, student employment, and student loans overseen by the Office of Financial Aid.

Scholarships and Grants

Emerson College awards scholarships and grants to applicants who are exceptionally well-qualified for undergraduate study based upon their comprehensive academic credentials, including professional promise and past academic excellence.

All applicants who complete their admission application by the deadline will be automatically reviewed for consideration. There is no additional paperwork to complete. Decisions are at the sole discretion of the Office of Undergraduate Admission. No scholarship or grant will be awarded for a value that is higher than the cost of tuition.
