Financial Aid

You’ll be surprised how affordable an EMU education really is. Some parents of current EMUers say tuition is even comparable in the end with that of large public colleges.

Parents also say our 1:1 financial aid counseling is really helpful. EMU students graduate with less debt than the national average, and nearly 100% of students receive financial aid. An average assistance package is over $17,000.
