An Investment in Students

The University of Pittsburgh admits students with academic and personal promise without consideration of ability to pay. Working together with families, we will find ways to help make a Pitt education a reality.

Pitt Success Pell Match

The Pitt Success Pell Match will match any Federal Pell Grant awarded to any of Pitt's undergraduate students on all campuses beginning in fall 2019.

Pitt enrolls more than 5,000 students who receive Pell Grants with an average amount of $4,500. The University is investing in students with the greatest need.
