On average, more than 98% of graduate students offered admission at Caltech are offered a package of merit-based financial support that pays all tuition charges and provides them with a stipend. The only major exception is the case of students in terminal master’s programs, who in many cases are self-supported.
Caltech's 124-acre campus is located in Pasadena, California, approximately 11 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles
