Chapman University Tuition and Financial Aid

We know that when deciding on a college, world-class educators and an active campus life are not the only factors in the equation. Tuition plays a large role in your final decision, which is why Chapman has provided many options and solutions to help you along the way.  A superior education isn’t as expensive as you think.

Here’s what one Chapman student had to say about her Chapman financial aid experience:

“I’d be paying more for a state college. The scholarship is huge. As pricey as it looks, Chapman gives you so much more; there are so many guest speakers and events at no cost to us. That’s what makes a college experience different.”

In the fall, our undergraduate counselors travel across the globe to visit high schools and attend college fairs so they can speak with students interested in attending Chapman University. Review our High School Visit and College Fair schedule here. You can also check with your Guidance or College Counseling Office for more details.

The purpose of our regional receptions is to more fully introduce you to the academic offerings and campus life of Chapman University. During these receptions, we cover the application process for our institution and what we require for admission. It also gives you the chance to meet admission counselors, alumni, as well as other interested students and parents. We also try to get involved with the communities we visit by organizing local service projects around the country.
