Outside funding will first reduce the Work-Study component of the package, up to the Cost of Attendance. If outside funds are greater than the Cost of Attendance, the grant award will be reduced to ensure that total funding does not exceed the budgeted Cost of Attendance.
Emory requires all students to have health insurance, either through their parents or another plan. If the student is not covered by a parental plan, the Emory grant will be increased to cover the cost of student insurance. The 2024-25 university health insurance plan cost is $5,118.
Work-study is an expected portion of the student award package. Additional institutional grant funds will not be substituted for those who decline to work.

Emory is committed to awarding aid based on financial need determined by a thorough review of each family's circumstances. Financial need is assessed using institutional methodology. Funding an education is primarily the responsibility of the student and family. Emory will award financial aid to supplement, not replace, the family's ability to pay. Our goal is to assist as many families as possible in a fair and equitable manner while meeting demonstrated need. Aid packages must be renewed every year.
QuestBridge Scholars and students from families with total incomes less than $50,000 and little to no assets can expect a financial aid package that looks like the package above. Families with higher incomes and assets may see slightly different results.
