Academic success within reach.

Like all good investments, a Pace University education returns value over time. In addition to time spent in the classroom, Pace students also take advantage of the various companies surrounding both our Westchester and New York City campuses by participating in our Co-op Internship Program (one of the largest in the New York metropolitan area). The experience you gain inside and outside the classroom will give you an edge when you enter the workforce – but how will you pay for it? That's where Pace can help. We offer four types of financial aid (scholarships, grants, work-study, and loans), and work closely with Pace students to ensure they get the maximum amount of aid available to them.

  • Endowed Scholarships

The Endowed Scholarships entry has been temporarily disabled because the University is unable to award endowed scholarships at this time.

Like many other universities, Pace has seen a decline in endowment due to the overall market declines over the past year. Accounting rules governing endowments prohibit the University from disbursing more funds until its endowment rebuilds.

We understand the financial pressures that many students are managing at this time and we are making every reasonable effort to continue funding scholarships from other sources, such as philanthropic support from alumni and friends.

If you are currently receiving an endowed scholarship and wish to renew it, or if you are a student wishing to apply for an endowed scholarship for the first time, please contact ouf Office of Financial Aid at (877) 672-1830 in New York City or (877) 672-1830 in Westchester to discuss alternative aid sources.

Education is an important investment from which you will benefit over your entire lifetime. Pace is committed to being your partner in this investment and to working with you to achieve your goals.

Sincerely,

The Office of Financial Aid
