We are pleased you are considering a CSM education and are here to answer your questions. As one of the Midwest's top liberal arts institutions, you will find us listed by such prestigious publications such as US News & World Report and Colleges of Distinction. As such, we are committed to making a quality education affordable for you and your family, and will work with you every step of the way. We are the small, private school with big aspirations—to help you grow into the person you're destined to become.  

One thing you may not know about a CSM education, is exactly how affordable it can be. We offer need-based aid to reflect family financial situations and merit-based aid to recognize special achievements. Thanks to numerous scholarships and grants, the vast majority of our students pay much less than the published tuition. Ninety-eight percent of our students receive some form of financial aid and the average award package last year was $18,750! This commitment to affordability is at the heart of who we are.  

The following pages have been designed to serve as general resource guides as you prepare for your collegiate experience here at CSM. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Financial Aid Office at (800) 926-5534 ext. 2362 or (402) 399-2362 or finaid@csm.edu.
