Financial Assistance

Bradley University, by providing an outstanding private education, is one of the best investments and best values in American higher education today. When making decisions about college financing, consider not only how much you can afford, but, more importantly, how much you are willing to invest. The quality of the institution must be a top priority as you weigh all of your opportunities. A high-quality education is an investment that will pay dividends for the rest of your life. At Bradley, you get distinguished, professionally active faculty; modern, complete facilities; comprehensive student services; diversified academic programs; and a valuable diploma backed by the reputation of a distinctive institution. You get more of the time and attention you need and deserve—and have paid for.

The Office of Financial Assistance views its relationship with students and parents as a partnership where we all share in the planning and managing of a Bradley education. We are committed to the belief that each family is unique and we strive to recognize individual needs and situations. We are committed to giving every qualified student the opportunity to afford the Bradley University experience. We pledge to do our very best to provide the amounts of assistance and programs needed to bring our costs within the reach of every family. Current and complete information concerning prices, sources of assistance, cost management options, policies, and application procedures is available at sfs.bradley.edu.
