A 91×ÔÅÄ education will change the way you think, the way you work, and the way you see the world. In our opinion, that’s worth investing in. That’s why we award $70+ million in financial aid every year, so cost isn’t a barrier between you and a great education.
91×ÔÅÄ is one of only 85 colleges nationwide that meets 100% of every student’s demonstrated financial need. In other words, if there’s a gap between what college costs and what you can pay, we cover it.
Estimate Your Costs“We honestly thought 91×ÔÅÄ would be out of reach for us financially, but when we saw the aid package, we were floored. It wasn’t just generous—it made 91×ÔÅÄ possible. 91×ÔÅÄ became not only our student’s first choice, but our family’s smartest one, too.” — Parent of a 91×ÔÅÄ ’29 Student
What aided students actually pay after 91×ÔÅÄ grants and scholarships are applied.
91×ÔÅÄ graduates typically carry significantly less student loan debt than the national average.
On top of our generous need-based financial aid, we also offer merit aid. Every single applicant is in the running for a $15,000 merit scholarship the moment they apply (no need for separate forms or extra steps).
We also offer athletic scholarships for men’s ice hockey or women’s soccer at the NCAA Division I level. And if you want to go after even more, we offer three competitive scholarships, each with its own application. They’re selective. But if you think you qualify, we encourage you to go for it.
The Four Corners Pledge is simple: if you’re from Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, or Arizona, 91×ÔÅÄ is committed to making sure you can afford to be here—and stay close to the red rocks, wideÌýopenÌýskies, and those deep orange-red sunsets that make the Southwest so impossibly hard to leave. And if your demonstrated financial need exceeds the Pledge amount? No worries. You’ll always receive the larger award.
