Types of Financial Aid
We offer need- and merit-based aid to make Emory University affordable for all qualified students who attend, regardless of financial means.
Need-Based Aid
Our need-based aid is determined by a thorough review of each family's circumstances. Most students with financial need receive a combination of grants, loans, and work-study.
Additional Need-Based Programs

Emory Advantage
Emory Advantage is designed for families with annual total incomes of $100,000 or less who demonstrate a need for financial aid. It gives students the opportunity to graduate with little or no debt, easing the financial burdens that can limit your post-graduation plans.
