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, 78% of students' tuition based on financial need.  Over 40% of our student body still 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 minimum of $25,000 is required to create a named current use scholarship at The Cooper Union.

A minimum gift of $250,000 is required to create a named endowed, unrestricted scholarship fund, and $500,000 for a named endowed, restricted scholarship at The Cooper Union.

We are deeply grateful for existing scholarships listed below that our family of donors have provided over the years. Contact us to learn how you or a loved one can establish a new named scholarship, or support an existing one, today.
