Clark Atlanta University - Got the lowdown on tuition?

Hi! I'm running numbers on colleges and I've got Clark Atlanta on my list. Anyone have info on what their tuition cost looks like? Tips for scholarships or other financial aid opportunities would be greatly appreciated too.

Hello! Clark Atlanta University, like several universities, has its total cost varying based on factors such as the program you enroll in. For an undergraduate student taking 12-18 credit hours per semester, the tuition is about $23,484 per academic year. There's also room, board, and other fees to consider, so the total cost of attendance can be around $27,651.

To help mitigate these costs, there are a couple of avenues to consider. One, ensure that you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as it opens. This will open up the door to state and federal aid you may be eligible for. It's also good to review the Student Aid Index (SAI) on your SAR (Student Aid Report) once you've submitted the FAFSA.

Additionally, you might want to look into merit-based scholarships offered by Clark Atlanta University. CAU offers a range of merit scholarships such as the Presidential Scholarship. Keep in mind that a separate application is required for this scholarship, which covers full tuition, as well as on-campus room and board for all four years. Check out the university's website and explore these opportunities. You may also want to research external scholarship opportunities related to your field of interest, community service, or any unique attributes you possess. Keep in mind that many scholarships have early deadlines, so starting your search now is a good plan.

Lastly, the school offers a work-study program which can offer added financial support while also providing experience relevant to your studies.

Remember to keep a careful eye on deadlines; timely applications are essential when dealing with financial aid and scholarships. Wishing you all the best with your college financial planning!
