Financial Planning

Don't stress, we're here to help!

Paying for college may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but at TIU we'll help you achieve your dreams through scholarships, grants, and other financial aid.

Scholarships and grants are a form of non-repayable aid made to support a student's education. Many TIU scholarships are provided by university alumni and donors as a testament to their love of our students.

Federal Work-Study Programs are also available to students as a part of their Financial Aid package and can contact the Financial Aid office to verify their eligibility: 847.317.8060.  

It's true that 90% of TIU students receive financial aid averaging $16,000 a year. Over $8,000,000 in financial aid is distributed by TIU every year.

Now that's some help!

But if all of this money stuff is confusing to you, don't fear! We have everything you need to know including a Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for Financial Aid, Tuition Costs, and a breakdown of available aid.

If there's something we haven't answered, please send us an email, finaid@tiu.edu, we'll be glad to help out!
