Undergraduate Financial Assistance
As you navigate the college application process and dream of where you will spend the next four years of your life, I understand that you may have concerns of your own about rising tuition costs and how to pay for a private education at an institution such as Pepperdine University. While the University believes that families and students have the primary responsibility for meeting the cost of their education, the Office of Financial Assistance understands your concerns and is dedicated to providing the tools and resources necessary to try to bridge the gap between the cost of Pepperdine and your family's contribution. Although not everyone applying for financial assistance will be eligible or awarded, I assure you that each application for assistance is given careful and individual review.
Always know that Pepperdine values your educational success and we pride ourselves in being a good steward of your financial investment, including providing tools and resources to students and parents. For many families, a Pepperdine education has been found to be a manageable financial commitment. Lastly, as you move forward through the financial assistance application process, please feel free to contact the Office of Financial Assistance with any questions you may have.
