Thanks to scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study, there are many ways to make your Claflin education affordable. Here's where to begin.
Where do you begin?
Four Steps to Financial Aid.
Our goal is to ensure every student receives our best comprehensive offer of financial assistance.
1. Apply to Claflin
Our financial aid staff work closely with you to explore every funding resource available, so your affordable investment in a Claflin education becomes a reality.
2. Determine Your Cost
Visit the Tuition & Fees page and use the Net Price Calculator to estimate your cost plus any scholarship and aid packages.
3. Complete the FAFSA
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid after January 1 of your senior year. Apply even if you think you don't qualify — scholarships, state aid, loans, and work-study all rely on it.
4. Scholarships & Work-Study
Explore Claflin scholarships, outside scholarships, and federal work-study — all itemized in our Financial Aid Checklist.
A Team in Your Corner.
Final eligibility for aid is subject to completing the FAFSA, meeting eligibility requirements, and availability of funds — but you're never navigating it alone.
Our financial aid counselors help you understand every option and build a plan that works for your family.
