Clark merit scholarships
Your application to Clark automatically puts you in the running for our merit scholarships. Read more about our Presidential Scholarship (for first-year students only) and other merit scholarships for both first-year and transfer students.
Grants, loans and work-study
Find out about the process of applying for aid. Learn more about need-based aid, including grants, loans and work-study opportunities.
Financing and loan options
Clark recognizes that your family may need to explore additional financing options. Many families use a combination of payment plans and loan options to help pay the education costs that financial aid doesn’t cover.
Regional incentive grants
Each year, Clark University designates a handful of states outside of New England as part of our regional incentive grants program. Admitted first-year students who attend high school in these states automatically receive this $5,000-per-year grant (renewable for a total of four years or $20,000). For Fall 2023, the regional incentive grant states are California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.
