Scholarship Overview
- The Cost of Attendance is the total cost of attending Caltech for one year. It includes both direct charges from Caltech, like tuition and fees, as well as other expenses, like books and supplies.
- The Family Contribution represents the amount of money your family would be expected to pay for one year of school. We calculate the exact amount of your family’s contribution with our needs analysis formula.
- Caltech will meet your demonstrated financial need through a combination of awards known as a financial aid package. A typical package will consist of grants and scholarships, student employment, and student loans.

What does the scholarship cover?

Am I Eligible to Apply?
- It’s no secret that admission to Caltech is selective; we welcome only about 230 new freshmen and 10 to 15 new transfer students to campus each fall. These students come to Caltech from all over the United States—and the world—bringing with them diverse experiences, perspectives, and passions.
- Hoping to be among next year’s undergraduate class? All we ask is that you share the typical Caltech student’s unbridled sense of curiosity and extraordinary aptitude for and interest in science, engineering, and technology.
How do I Apply – Next Steps
- You are considered a first-year applicant if you have not yet earned a high school diploma; this includes those of you who have been homeschooled or are enrolled in high school/college dual enrollment programs. You are also considered a first-year applicant if you graduated from high school but have not since enrolled in college courses for credit.

Lehlohonolo Masupha says
I am a 19 year old male Lesotho citizen, I sat for my c.o.s.c final examiation last year, in Lesotho. I have always wanted to be an architect, artist or a graphic designer. Not only did I love, but also tried much as i can to prove that i have what it takes to be one. Proudly to say, I managed, and that distinguished me from the crowd. For the betterment of my future, i’d love to study Architecture at your university. However, i cannot afford to pay the fees, thus i wish to be offered scholarship. During my previous academic period, all my fees were covered by Ministry of Education of Lesotho.
