The decision to invest in a quality education is probably one of the
most important decisions you and your family will make. At
Pepperdine, we believe that your college choice is usually based on
the school’s educational philosophy, the quality of academic
programs, and the various extracurricular opportunities available to
you outside the classroom. We also recognize that college costs and
finances are important factors and play a significant role in your
college choice.
Education is an investment that will last a lifetime. Although the
cost of a private education may seem expensive, financial assistance
programs can make private education accessible to students from
families with a wide range of economic backgrounds.
v
Approximately 75 percent of Pepperdine students receive some form of
financial assistance every year. Typically all financial assistance
packages contain some loan offers. Some packages may consist of all
loans.
v
University grant funds are limited and priority for these funds is
given to students who have the strongest academic records, as
defined by the grade point average and college entrance exam scores.
v
Financial assistance files must be complete (FAFSA and signed
federal tax return(s), including all schedules and W-2’s) by the
February 15 priority deadline in order to be considered for
university grant funds.
v
Academic scholarships are awarded to newly admitted students that
qualify.
v
Students are given a comparable financial package each year provided
that there is no significant change in a family’s income or assets,
marital status, or number in college.
The primary responsibility for funding your education is placed with
you and your family. Financial assistance helps to bridge the gap
between the cost of education and the financial resources of your
family.
