What does it take to make a Cooper student’s dreams reality?  
 
The tuition cost of a Cooper education is currently $44,550 per year. Each student receives at least $22,275 (50%) annually in tuition scholarships from The Cooper Union. Additional financial aid is dependent on the generosity of our donors.

Provided we meet the financial targets of our ten-year plan to reinstate full-tuition scholarships, Cooper will continue increasing scholarship coverage until all students are able to attend tuition-free. As a result of donor giving, The Cooper Union is currently able to cover, on average, 83% of students' tuition based on financial need.  Nearly half of our student body receives full-tuition scholarships as Peter Cooper intended.   
 
We’re proud of our progress, and with your support we can do even better!

Make a gift today and help us provide more full-tuition scholarships for our students.

A gift of $250,000 or more is required to create a named endowed, unrestricted scholarship fund, and $500,000 for a named endowed, restricted scholarship at The Cooper Union. A minimum of $25,000 is required to create a named current use scholarship. Contact us to learn how you or a loved one can establish a new named scholarship, or support an existing one, today.
