Tuition & Aid
Tulane offers both merit- and need-based aid programs. All admitted students are considered for partial merit scholarships, and are also welcome to separately apply for additional merit scholarships. Many of our scholarships are awarded on the basis of both need and merit. Several need-based aid awards and programs are also available through our Office of Financial Aid.
