Financing your education At Emory University, we think choosing a college should be based on fit, not finances. That’s why we are committed to meeting 100 percent of demonstrated financial need for all accepted domestic students. In fact, more than half of our undergraduates receive financial aid, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to making an Emory education affordable.
Our multifaceted approach includes need-based financial aid (including grants, work-study, and loans), merit-based scholarships, and programs such as Emory Advantage and QuestBridge, making an Emory education accessible to all.
Emory Advantage is a financial aid initiative that makes the cost

of a private college education more affordable for families with annual total incomes of $100,000 or less who demonstrate a need for financial aid. The program reduces the amount of money borrowed to pay for an Emory degree, providing students the opportunity to graduate with little or no debt. A major component is the Loan Replacement Grant, which is for students whose families’ annual total incomes are $50,000 or less and covers the self-help portion of an aid award, replacing loans. There is no separate application for the Emory Advantage Program. All incoming students who apply for institutional need-based financial aid will be considered.
