I would recommend Cal U’s online program and in-person classes. From the admission process until the graduation process, Cal U has people on staff here to help in every professional way. This has been an excellent experience.

Your potential is unlimited at California University of Pennsylvania.

They’re offered entirely online, meaning our classrooms are open 24/7, whether you’re in the military, traveling for business, or in your living room after your family is asleep.

Plus, 100 percent of online classes are taught by the same professors as campus-based programs – all experienced faculty who are not only dedicated teachers, but wellrespected experts in their fields.

It’s not the ordinary way to earn your degree.

But then again, most adult learners are not looking for an ordinary learning environment.

How do we do it?

LESS FEES

COMPETITIVE RATES Most Global Online undergraduate students pay a reduced, competitive tuition rate – even if you’re an out-of-state student.

TUITION REIMBURSEMENT Speak to a student accounts representative in our Bursar’s office to discuss deferred billing options if your employer offers tuition assistance or tuition reimbursement plans.

We’ll reduce the tuition charged to eligible veterans, service members of all military branches, as well as their eligible dependents, and the Office of Military & Veterans Affairs will work with veterans to navigate the GI Bill®.

FINANCIAL LITERACY Your college education is a major investment. Our Financial Literacy Program provides tools, skills and knowledge so you can make informed decisions about your education.

How will you pay Our Office of Financial Aid is here to help you navigate your options for financing your degree.

GRANTS

SCHOLARSHIPS

Grants are a very desirable type of financial aid because they do not have to be repaid.

Scholarships are awarded based on any number of criteria – and they don’t need to be repaid.

Most grant aid is based on financial need, so you must complete the FAFSA to be considered.

They are available to all Global Online undergraduate students who meet certain guidelines.

Opportunity Grant

• TEACH Grant • Pennsylvania State Grant • Career Link Funding Such as Workforce • • • •

Investment and Trade Adjustment Act Funds United Mine Workers of America / BCOA Bituminous Coal Operators Association Vocational Rehabilitation Out of State Grants Athletic Grant-in-Aid

# of students who received financial aid: First-time freshmen: 98% Full-time undergraduate: 93%

• PASSHE Foundation Scholarships • State Scholarship Programs • External Scholarships

LOANS In order to become eligible for loans, you must fill out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at fafsa.gov.

If you’re like most students, you will probably need some type of student loan to help finance your education.

Most student loans have relatively low interest rates, several repayment options from which to choose, circumstances under which repayment can be postponed, and other favorable terms and conditions.

• Federal Pell Grant • Federal Supplemental Educational

• Federal Direct Loan Program • Federal Direct Plus Loans for Parents • Private Alternative Loans

Cal U made it easy for me to be a mother, a worker, and a student at the same time.

The classes also prepared me for my internship in the career field I am interested in. These are classes that prepare you for real-life situations and not what is printed in a text book.

I noticed the personal care and responsibility that my (Cal U) professors took in each of their students’ success. If it were not for my professors’ … work ethic and passion for education, I would not have been the successful honor student that I have become.
