Average financial aid
The chart to the right estimates the federal, state, and institutional financial assistance awards received by freshman in 2009-10. Our financial aid office works closely with families and students on the many options related to paying for college expenses: grants and scholarships, educational loans, Work-Study programs, and more.
Donors also play an important part in affordability; the average student at EMU pays only 70% of direct costs thanks to generous gifts from EMU supporters.
