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.
