There's no arguing Carnegie Mellon University students are some of the brightest around. Blazing new trails. Pioneering solutions for the world. In a word, they are EPIC. But, consider this: For every $1 in endowment funds that CMU has for its students, Cal Tech has $8.88. MIT has $10.59. And Stanford has $12.59. Tuition covers only two-thirds the cost of a CMU education More than half of our undergrads receive financial aid. Do your part to keep the legacy alive.
