Financial Aid 

The Heinz School strives to make a graduate education accessible to talented students through numerous fellowship and scholarship opportunities. Approximately 70% of full-time students receive some form of scholarship support. Students are encouraged to apply early for financial aid since funding for some programs is limited. If you have questions, please contact us; we can guide you through the financial aid process and provide you with the resources you need to make informed decisions on financing the quality education you will receive at the Heinz School.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Heinz School Financial Aid Office is to guide and assist students in securing the financial means to pursue higher education. We will strive to do so in a respectful, confidential and comfortable environment where students know they will be assisted by friendly, courteous and understanding staff. We will seek new knowledge so that we can provide students with accurate, up-to-date information about financial options. We will educate students about their financial rights and responsibilities to enable them to make informed decisions about their educational funding and to encourage responsible borrowing and repayment practices. We will provide quality, timely and individual attention and will always act in the best interest of the student in accordance with federal regulations and institutional policies.

We will be collaborative and professional in our interactions with Heinz School staff and faculty members and the larger Carnegie Mellon University community. We will proactively support the school's goal of enrolling and educating a talented, dynamic and diverse student body and will serve as a resource to present, past and future students.
