Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

Most colleges and universities will offer students a price for a year of education which rolls all charges to students into one convenient number. This is the sticker price, which for the 2019-2020 year, was $72,222. This includes tuition, books, supplies, room, board, and other charges.

However, if you qualify for financial aid as a freshman student, your cost of education can drop significantly. The average net price in 2018-2019 was $46,381, which is the average cost remaining for students after their financial aid is applied. This net price is often reported by income because that is how eligibility for financial aid is decided. At Emerson, families who earned between $75,001 and $100,000 paid around $42,458. Families earning $30,000 or less paid a net price of $39,241.

In the 2018-2019 academic year, 80% of students qualified for financial aid. Slightly less (76%) received an average of $21,972 in grants or scholarships and 75% received institutional grants and scholarships averaging $20,784.
