Financial Aid

The Cooper Union was founded on the principle of providing access to higher education regardless of race, creed, gender or financial means. Tuition assistance has been integral to the make-up of the institution since it began over 150 years ago. Our admissions process is need-blind which means your financial circumstances have no bearing on your admissions decision.
As an all honors college, every admitted student receives a half-tuition scholarship valued at approximately $21,000 per academic year (2017-2018). Students will automatically be considered for additional merit based scholarship through the admissions process. In order to be considered for need-based aid, students must file the FAFSA form.
FAFSA (Title IV Institutional) Code: 002710
NYS TAP Code: 0170
The Cooper Union’s Office of Financial Aid helps students and their families understand the financial requirements of a Cooper Union education and explore options and funding to meet educational expenses. We provide assistance with all aspects of the financial aid application process and help individuals and families financially plan their academic careers at the institution.
The Financial Aid Office reserves the right to change or modify your financial aid package at any time without prior notifications.
Feel free to contact us with any questions.
