Become Your Best Investment

Financial aid is a crucial step in helping to make higher education accessible for all students and families. All accepted, incoming undergraduate students will receive Capital’s Main Street Scholarship, a minimum $80,000 award applied over four years. Additionally, for first-time students who meet GPA, residency, and income requirements, full-tuition and fees will be awarded through the Capital Gateway Scholarship.  

To help with your college planning, our Office of Financial Aid provides students and families with an Estimate of College Costs.  This estimate includes tuition and fees, books, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses. Some of these costs will vary depending on student spending choices. For additional details about tuition, housing, and meal plans, or to use the interactive Net Price Calculator, visit our Financial Aid webpage or email us at financialaid@capital.edu.
