New students (incoming freshmen and transfers) may qualify for scholarships that cover up to full tuition.

New incoming first-year and transfer students may qualify for full tuition through the Caldwell Commitment Program! The Caldwell Commitment grant is awarded to qualifying New Jersey students who receive both Federal Pell Grants and the New Jersey Tuition Aid Grant (TAG) and have at least a 3.0 high school GPA.

• The Federal Pell Grant program awards need-based grants to low-income undergraduate students.
• The New Jersey Tuition Aid Grant (TAG) is a need-based financial aid program for full-time undergraduate students who reside in New Jersey and are enrolled in an approved degree or certificate program.

Students who wish to take advantage of the Caldwell Commitment Program must be admitted to Caldwell University and file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at studentaid.gov by February 1 using Caldwell University’s federal school code: 002598.

Admitted students who are awarded the Caldwell Commitment will receive notification in their financial aid award.  Please note the Caldwell Commitment grant will cover full tuition (not applicable towards room and board costs), and supersedes all other institutional grants and scholarships that a student may have already been awarded through the admissions process.
