About 70% of Elim students received financial aid from the government, 48% of those received more than $5,000 in grant aid. Elim is committed to helping students attend Elim. We don’t want finances to be an obstacle. To that end, Elim also offers scholarships and campus employment to eligible applicants. In fact, 96% of Elim students received some type of financial aid in 2018.
Elim calculates institutional aid after students have applied for Federal and State aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We ask NY State residents to also complete the Tuition Assistance Program application (TAP.) We ask Canadian applicants from Ontario to apply for OSAP. See the Tuition & Fees page for full details about the cost of attending Elim.
*International Applicants have additional requirements beyond the above 3 steps. Learn more ›

A deposit is not needed for acceptance to the school, but we do not reserve space for you until we receive the deposit. If you plan to enroll, make sure to pay your deposit by the deadline so you can avoid a $50 late fee.
