The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) at Central Michigan University, in conjunction with the federal and state governments and private and civic organizations, offers a variety of scholarship, grant, loan, and employment opportunities to assist you in financing your education.

Approximately eighty percent of all CMU students receive some form of assistance from these sources. The purpose of financial aid is to ensure that the university continues to make it possible for students of all degrees of financial capacity, special talent, or high scholastic merit to attend CMU. Should you have any questions during the application process, please do not hesitate to contact us.
CMU will limit institutional funds (i.e., need-based grants, merit scholarships, employee tuition waivers, Indian Tuition Grant Waiver, etc.) to the annual cost of attendance.
