Policy on Outside Funding

Outside funding can be used to reduce the work study offer. If the student can document travel costs that exceed the standard allowance, outside funding may be used to cover the documented travel costs. If the outside funding exceeds those two components, the excess will be used to reduce grants awarded to the student.

Policy on Health Insurance

Health insurance is not included in the standard student expense budget. If the student cannot waive out of the Caltech Student Health Insurance Plan then they will receive an Institute Grant to cover their enrollment. The plan costs $4,998 for the 2024-2025 school year - $1,666 per Insurance Term.

Policy on Travel Allowance

Institute scholarship will only cover the standard travel allowance listed in the student's estimated cost of attendance.

Policy on Student Contribution

The Student Contribution will be calculated based on total income and assets reported on the FAFSA.

Requirements Associated with Maintaining this Award

Orientation Fee
