Tuition & Financial Aid
An Investment in Your Future
A commitment to higher education brings opportunities for personal and professional growth. The investment you make now – in time, hard work, and money – will pay off in increased earnings, job security, and personal satisfaction. But in order to make an informed decision, you need all the facts.
We believe that each Capella student should have a clear picture of the financial investment required to earn a degree. Before you even apply, you'll understand the cost of your education and learn about the scholarships, grants, military discounts, and financial aid that can provide the additional support you need to reach your goals.
My job is to assist learners with pretty much the whole application process.

Capella Supports the Military
In appreciation of your service, Capella University offers tuition discounts, credit for training, and many other benefits for active duty members of the Armed Forces as well as their immediate family, veterans, members of the National Guard and Reserves, survivors and dependents receiving Chapter 35 (DEA) VA benefits, civilian employees of the Department of Defense, and members of the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service and NOAA.
The leadership, management, and marketing skills I've learned at Capella are already useful in my military role.
