You can still make an impact on Butler students!
Scholarships
Invest in a Bulldog

At Butler, providing an exceptional student-centered learning experience is at the heart of everything we do. We are passionate about the transformative impact we make in students’ lives and are driven to make this experience available to all who seek it. 

Because many of our students are only able to consider Butler as a viable option with the help of Butler-funded academic and need-based scholarships, Butler offers the best possible financial aid package upfront. Unfortunately, the ever-growing total of scholarship funding required to meet our students’ needs is not sustainable. During the 2023-24 academic year, Butler committed more than $95 million to students in the form of scholarships and financial aid. Currently, 99% of students receive financial aid. 

We are committed to ensuring that a Butler education remains accessible to every deserving student, regardless of financial circumstance. But to make this vision sustainable, Butler students need your support
