2011-12 Freshmen Scholarships and Grants
Cedarville University made significant changes to its financial aid program beginning with new students enrolling for the 2010-11 year. These changes resulted in increased financial aid awards and a greatly simplified institutional aid program. And now, Cedarville’s rigorous, Christ-centered education is more affordable than ever. The phase-in of these new awards began in fall 2010.
