The types of financial aid available to international students are need-based grants, scholarships, and campus employment. Amounts vary based on need. Admission to Cottey does not guarantee financial assistance to cover the full cost of attendance. Normally, the student and her parents are responsible for paying a portion of the costs. The student is also responsible for paying the transportation expenses and living expenses during breaks when the residence halls are closed (Christmas break, spring break, and summer).
