Financial Aid
Costs
Financing your education is a major investment. At Cottey College, we understand and are here to help.
Much of the financial aid process and offering of financial aid is regulated by federal law, which first supposes that the financial responsibility for post-secondary education lies with the student and family.
However, due to our strong financial foundation, endowment, and the continued financial support of the P.E.O. Sisterhood, a philanthropic educational organization dedicated solely to furthering education for women, we offer several scholarships and grants to help make a Cottey education affordable.
Upon admission acceptance, the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are reviewed and the best financial aid package is offered. Your award offer outlines the types and amounts of financial aid for which you qualify.
