Financial Aid

Undergraduate Financial Aid

Plan your funding with clarity. Understand your options. Build a strategy that supports your goals.

Financing your undergraduate education requires planning. At Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU), we help you understand your options, evaluate your total cost, and build a funding plan aligned with your educational and career goals.

Start With A Plan

Before applying for or accepting financial aid, we recommend a structured approach:

• Understand your total cost of attendance
  (tuition, fees, books, housing, transportation, personal expenses)
• Identify all available funding sources
  (scholarships, employer support, cash pay with payment plans, federal and private loans)
• Estimate your total borrowing need and compare it to federal loan limits
• Plan for repayment based on expected income

Careful planning at the beginning of your program helps reduce financial stress and supports long-term success.
