You are a vital partner in your child’s college search process. We recognize that as a parent or guardian, you have unique concerns (and maybe even a little anxiety) about sending your child to college for the first time. You are not alone. We want you to know there are many resources to help you navigate a sometimes confusing, but ultimately rewarding, college search process with your student.
The College has a comprehensive website where you are encouraged to connect with other parents »
1. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PARENTS
Get to know us! Visit campus, meet our students, and hear directly from an admissions counselor about the application process.
2. FEES & FINANCIAL AID
We believe that students from all backgrounds should have access to a world-class education, one that leaves them prepared for post-graduate success and unburdened by student debt. UChicago does not charge an application fee for families who intend to apply for need-based aid, then meets the full demonstrated need of every admitted student with a financial aid package that includes no loan expectation.
3. THE FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE
Our dedicated advisors and deans create an unmatched system of support for students from their very first days on campus.
A very comprehensive financial aid package was the confirmation that an education-
at UChicago is within any family’s reach, regardless of their financial status.Jorge M.UChicago Parent
