University of Findlay is committed to making a top-ranked, private education affordable and accessible. Last year, over $51 million in scholarships and financial aid was awarded to 98 percent of our full-time students. Both merit-based and need-based assistance is available as part of UF’s scholarship program.
The average net price for undergraduate students is approximately $23,589, and the University works closely with students and their families to assure that we are the "right fit" on all levels.
University of Findlay accepts Classic Learning Test (CLT) scores for the determination of merit-based aid, in addition to the acceptance of both ACT and SAT scores. The Classic Learning Test (CLT) is a standardized college entrance exam designed to assess students' skills in areas such as reading, writing, and math, with a particular focus on critical thinking.
