We do our best to see that no student is turned away from attending Chapman for financial reasons alone. The admission and financial aid offices work together to alert students to the federal and state grants-in-aid, part-time employment, and low-interest loan programs available. Each year Chapman invests more than $21 million in scholarships, grants, and loans for academically promising and needy students. In addition, the business office works closely with students and parents to assure that billing is accurate and timely. All costs listed in this section are subject to change without notice.

If tuition is paid for two or more years in advance, the university will guarantee that there will occur no increase in the tuition in each year paid for as long as the student is continuously enrolled.

Billing and payment information is available through the business office in Bhathal Student Services Center, 714/997-6617, 6968, 6599, 6951, 6503 or e-mail ocbusn@chapman.edu

A tuition refund plan is available to students and parents to guarantee a refund of all monies paid to the university, in the event that the student suffers a serious illness or accident, and must withdraw from the university before the semester is completed, but after the established withdrawal dates for tuition credit referenced in this section. This elective plan provides coverage for tuition, fees, and room and board charges*. No exceptions will be made to the tuition credit (withdrawal) policy for students/parents who elect not to purchase this coverage. For more information, contact the business office, 714/997-6617.

Please note that the dates to withdraw or drop classes for tuition credit differ from those to withdraw or drop classes for academic credit.

The financial aid office is responsible for the administration of undergraduate and graduate student financial aid. We provide counseling and information to students and parents. All students who need financial assistance are encouraged to apply for aid.

Procedures for Applying for Financial Aid

Applying for financial aid at Chapman is easy. All new students are automatically considered for academic scholarships. There are no special application forms to complete.

Chapman also provides scholarships to new students for special talents such as music, theatre, and dance. An audition may be required to determine eligibility. If so, the admissions office will notify the student.

In addition to scholarships, Chapman provides assistance from an array of grant, loan, and employment programs. These programs are funded by Chapman, federal and state government, and various private organizations. To apply, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Californians should also complete the Cal Grant GPA Verification Form.

When completing the FAFSA, please be sure to list “Chapman University, Orange, California” in Step Six of the form. The Title IV School Code for Chapman is 001164.

The preferential filing date for mailing the FAFSA to the federal processor is March 1, 1999 for the 1999-2000 academic year. Grants, loans, and employment may be awarded to students who apply after March 1; however, funds likely will be exhausted in some programs.

Please contact the financial aid office with questions: 714/997-6741. A toll-free telephone number also is available: 888/CU-APPLY. In addition to calling the financial aid office, the federal government can be contacted for information about completing the FAFSA: 800/4 FED AID.

Chapman Academic Centers

Students enrolled in Academic Centers should consult the center director for detailed information regarding financial aid.

Federal Student Aid

Federal programs administered by the financial aid office include Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) and Federal Work Study (FWS), which provides opportunities for part-time employment. Loan programs include Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Stafford Loans, and Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS), all of which must be repaid. Detailed information is available from the financial aid office.

State of California Financial Aid

The State of California provides Cal Grants to financially and academically eligible students. Eligibility criteria change each year based on appropriations from the state legislature and the number of applicants. The Cal Grant A and Cal Grant B programs are available to undergraduates who are residents of California. The Cal Grant T program is available to students enrolled in teacher credential programs leading to credentials in single subject, multiple subject, or special education.

Chapman University Scholarships

Each year, Chapman University provides over $10,000,000 to students attending the Orange campus who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance or who have special talents. For first-year students, academic scholarships are awarded on the basis of high school grades and admissions test scores. Transfer students are awarded based on grades received at other colleges and universities.

Scholarships for special talents are awarded by the faculty. Talent awards are available for theatre, dance, communications, film and television, art, orchestra, chorus, English, science, and business. Application information is available from the admissions office.

Chapman University Grants

Chapman University Grants are awarded to Orange campus students on the basis of financial need as defined by the federal government. Over $9,000,000 dollars are provided each year.

Academic Scholarships

Each year high-achieving newly admitted students will be honored as Presidential, Provost’s, and Dean’s Scholars. Recipients will be chosen on the basis of their entering academic credentials and notified of their award shortly after being admitted. These awards are renewable with continuous full-time enrollment up to completion of the initial bachelor’s degree with the maintenance of a minimum 2.75 cumulative grade point average.

Talent/Service Awards

Designed to recognize talent and skills in the areas of art, dance, theatre, film/TV, music, and creative writing, these awards are made on the basis of faculty recommendation. Only full-time students are eligible. Recipients must maintain at least a 2.00 GPA to be considered for renewal.

Children of Chapman Grants

Students attending the Orange campus receive a $1,000 grant each year if one or both their parents are graduates of Chapman. These grants may be renewed up to four years.

Need-Based Awards

Chapman Grants

These grants are designed to offset direct educational costs for applicants with demonstrated financial need. Recipients must maintain a minimum of a 2.0 (C) GPA for renewal and must make satisfactory academic progress. Eligibility is determined by the financial aid office after considering other financial aid available to the student.

Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Awards

The Student Employment Office assists Chapman students in securing work opportunities to gain valuable experience in professional environments, as well as a practical means to contribute to the cost of their education. Programs include Federal Work Study (FWS), on-campus employment, Job Location and Development (JLD), the Graduate Assistantship program, and summer employment programs.

The FWS program is a federal student aid program which gives students with demonstrated need the opportunity to obtain a part-time job to help defray living expenses. Students enrolled in the FWS program work in positions that match their interests either on campus or at selected non-profit organizations in the community.

The On-campus Employment Program offers a variety of jobs to students not enrolled in the FWS program. As with the FWS program, pay and responsibilities vary depending on students’ abilities.

The Graduate Assistantship Program is designed to assist graduate students in obtaining practical work experience in a professional environment while pursuing their advanced degree. The program offers a variety of on-campus work opportunities in most academic areas where graduate students have the ability to work with faculty members and administrators on high-level work assignments. Students receive a competitive hourly wage that is commensurate with necessary qualifications and experience requirements.

The JLD program provides students with an even greater variety of opportunities by offering students part- and full-time positions in the community. Students earn competitive salaries and gain experience which complements their classroom studies.

For additional information, contact the Student Employment Office at 714/997-6732.

The Hall of Sponsors recognizes individuals in whose names permanent scholarships have been established through endowments of $25,000 or more.
