Making Higher Education Affordable and Attainable With a Range of Financial Aid Options, we offer personalized assistance to put your dreams — and the cost of your educational journey — within reach for you and your family. We are committed to supporting you every step of the way. We understand that choosing a university is one of the most significant investments you’ll make, and we want you to feel confident in that decision. That’s why our URLA financial aid team works one-on-one with every student and family to build a plan that fits your unique circumstances — from completing the FAFSA to exploring scholarships, grants, and work-study opportunities. Merit is rewarded, need is recognized, and no two aid packages look exactly alike, because no two families’ situations are the same. Our goal is simple: to make sure talented and motivated students are able to pursue the education they’ve worked so hard for.
Affording a Redlands Education Student eligibility for various types of financial aid at the University of Redlands, Los Angeles is determined based on the following criteria: » Merit Based: Determined by a holistic review of the student’s admissions application. Some factors considered: Academic GPA, participation in extracurricular activities or organizations, and test scores (if applicable). No FAFSA required. » Need-Based: Determined by your family’s financial information; requires submission of a FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application. Your eligibility for federal and university need-based aid is based on two factors: the Cost of Attendance (COA) and your Student Aid Index (SAI).
