Columbia’s admission process is need-blind for Combined Plan applicants, meaning the Committee on Admissions considers your application for admission regardless of your financial need.
Though Columbia is need-blind, we do not guarantee to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need for Combined Plan students. It is the responsibility of the student to fulfill any unmet need in a financial aid award. Our staff is glad to assist you with exploring your different financing options: student loans, parent loans, monthly payment plans.
