Welcome to the Office of Financial Aid
Caltech believes that qualified prospective and continuing students should not be prevented from attending Caltech because of financial concerns; the Institute offers comprehensive financial aid packages to make that possible. The types of aid available to students and their families include scholarships and grants, which are gifted to the recipient and are not paid back, and loans and work study support.
Caltech Commitment
Most students with family income of less than $100,000 (with typical assets) can expect a no-loan financial aid package that covers tuition, fees, housing, and food.
Most students with family income of less than $200,000 (with typical assets) can expect an aid package that covers the tuition.
