Running a private institution generates many expenses so that we can provide students with excellence in teaching, learning, and research. Tuition dollars play a vital role in our overall budget to provide these services. Here are a few things to consider about investing in a John Carroll education.

John Carroll has a commitment to financial aid and affordability for our students.

  • We award nearly $36 million in financial aid each year.
  • Merit scholarship programs reward academics, leadership, and commitment to service.
  • Our need-based financial aid helps families from across the economic spectrum be able to enroll and graduate without significant financial burden.

Tuition Insurance

John Carroll University understands that higher education is a major investment and therefore has partnered with The GradGuard™ Tuition Protection Plan from Allianz Global Assistance. This plan can reimburse your tuition, fees, and room/board expenses if you withdraw from your classes mid-semester. This option gives your family more peace of mind if the unexpected happens to cover withdrawals due to a covered illness, injury, or psychological conditions.
