Caltech offers several scholarship options to support undergraduate and graduate students. Merit-based scholarships, such as the Caltech Scholarship, are awarded based on academic excellence and do not require repayment. Need-based aid is available through grants and federal programs, determined by financial need assessments.
External scholarships, like the National Merit Scholarship, can also be applied to Caltech tuition. Graduate students may receive fellowships or assistantships, covering tuition and providing stipends. Prospective students should complete the FAFSA and CSS Profile to maximize eligibility. Caltech’s financial aid office provides personalized guidance to help students navigate available funding opportunities.
