One thing you may not know about a CSM education, is exactly how affordable it can be. We offer need-based aid to reflect family financial situations and merit-based aid to recognize special achievements. Thanks to numerous scholarships and grants, the vast majority of our students pay much less than the published tuition. Ninety-eight percent of our students receive some form of financial aid and the average award package last year was $20,019! This commitment to affordability is at the heart of who we are.
