We recommend applying at the end of your junior year in high school to have the best chance at CMU scholarships.

4. COMPLETE YOUR FAFSA. You can file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) beginning Jan. 1. Designate CMU as your school of choice to qualify for financial aid.

College is about exploring your options to find your future. If you haven’t decided on a major yet, that’s

OK. Some students enter college knowing exactly what they want; others discover new interests

their freshman or sophomore year.

At CMU, you’ll find strong academic programs and the support you need

to choose a path that meets your interests. We offer nationally acclaimed

programs ranging from health professions and engineering

to business and communication.

Campus is so inviting.

When I visited, people in front of me would

open the door and hold it for me.

This environment is so welcoming.
