The University of Tulsa is among the lowest-priced selective, independent institutions in the nation. Our
endowment and trust funds in excess of $720 million subsidize each student's education.
The University of Tulsa offers the Tulsa Monthly Budget Plan, an option that helps families manage the cost
of their TU education.
In addition, we offer a variety of merit-based scholarships and need-based financial assistance to students
who are admitted to the university.
Need-Based Assistance
Financial need is generally defined as the difference between the cost of attending the university and the
amount that the student and the student's family are expected to contribute toward the educational costs.
The family contribution is determined by a needs analysis based on financial information provided on the FAFSA.
Combinations of need-based grants in aid, the Federal Work-Study Program, several college loan programs, and
TU's merit-based scholarship program may be awarded to assist the student in meeting the cost of college.
Financial aid applicants will be considered for all programs for which they are eligible by the Office of
Student Financial Services.
Scholarships
Academic scholarships are awarded to those incoming students who have outstanding academic records as demonstrated
in their performance in course work and on college entrance exams.
Scholarships are renewable for each of the student's four succeeding years, contingent upon full-time enrollment
and successful academic performance as determined by the university.
The University of Tulsa Application for Admission and Scholarships serves as the required form for scholarship
consideration. A student resume (optional) may be submitted to supplement the form.
Each applicant is strongly encouraged to arrange a personal interview with a member of the admission staff before
scholarship review. The interview contributes to the evaluation process for scholarship awards.

scholarship page.
