Other Ways to Reduce Your Total
Beyond the tuition reduction, there are several other paths to making this degree more affordable.
CWRU Alumni Scholarship
If you earned your undergraduate degree from Case Western Reserve University, you’ll receive an additional $3,900 scholarship toward your online master's tuition.
Choose Ohio First Scholarship
Ohio residents pursuing STEM graduate degrees at participating universities (including CWRU) may qualify for the state-funded Choose Ohio First scholarship program, designed to strengthen Ohio's engineering and technology workforce.
Employer Tuition Reimbursement
Many engineering employers cover all or part of advanced engineering education. CWRU's asynchronous online schedule is designed to fit working professionals, which makes employer reimbursement particularly natural. Check with your HR department about your company's tuition assistance program.
Federal Financial Aid
All U.S. citizens and permanent residents may qualify for federal financial aid. Start by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The CWRU School of Engineering FAFSA code is E00680. To be eligible, you must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen and enrolled in at least 6 credit hours per term.
Veterans Benefits
CWRU is a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program and accepts veterans benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill, Post-9/11 GI Bill and the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program. Veterans education benefits received must be reported on the FAFSA.
Federal Loans
Direct PLUS Loans and other federal loan options are available to qualifying students. The CWRU financial aid office can help you understand what's available and how to apply.

Admissions Deadlines
*The overall tuition for the 30-credit program is $39,000 after the tuition reduction is applied. The tuition reduction offer is available only to qualified new (first-time) enrollees, not current or returning students.
Tuition reduction funds are not payable directly to the recipient. $26,460 of the tuition reduction will be applied in a prorated manner over the duration of the student's program of study. The remaining tuition reduction amount corresponds to a charge of $0 for taking and passing the last required course in the curriculum, and will be applied after the final drop/add period for this concluding course.
If a student receives other forms of financial assistance, the student's financial assistance may require modification to account for the tuition reduction by preventing any 'over-award,' such that the total financial assistance received does not exceed the cost of attendance, as defined and determined by the Office of Financial Aid of Case Western Reserve University.
Recipients of the tuition reduction must remain continuously enrolled in the program through completion. Exceptions may be granted for students who obtain a university-approved leave of absence. Students receiving the tuition reduction must maintain satisfactory academic progress at all times for the tuition reduction to remain in effect. This tuition reduction offer may be revised, rescinded, or terminated at any time. All admissions and tuition reduction decisions of Case Western Reserve University are final.
