Recognizing that adult students usually do not have the need or leisure to utilize many of the campus life services available to traditional students, their tuition is set at approximately 20 percent less than flat full-time tuition. Adult students are eligible for several of the Federal Financial Aid programs available to traditional students, including Pell Grants and various loans. In addition, Caldwell College will assist financially needy students with partial grants. The academic advisors of the Center for Continuing Education and the staff of the Financial Aid Office will also inform students of special privately-funded scholarship opportunities for which they may qualify. Please consult Caldwell's section on Financial Aid at Caldwell College for a more comprehensive overview of the types of financial aid available.
Many companies offer tuition reimbursement for their full-time employees.
Students working full-time should ask their Human Resources or Personnel Departments to determine if they are eligible for tuition reimbursement or alternative billing processes. Military Personnel and Veterans Military personnel on active service and Veterans are eligible for several types of educational financial benefits. Reduced Rates for Certain Professionals and Alumni Law enforcement and corrections officers can enroll in Criminal Justice courses at half tuition. Teachers at Catholic schools and full-time Diocesan employees can enroll in all courses at half tuition. Caldwell College graduates are eligible for a 50 percent discount on undergraduate tuition.
