Education is expensive, but we hope you and your family look at education as an investment in your future, and base your college choice on shared values and academic quality rather than cost.

You might be surprised how affordable an EMU education really is. EMU students graduate with less debt than the national average, and some 98% of students receive financial aid. An average assistance package is $17, 350.

Our office works with families and students on the many options related to paying for college expenses: grants and scholarships, educational loans, work-study programs, and more. Donors also play an important part in affordability; the average student at EMU pays only 70% of direct costs.
