Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

Going to college isn’t cheap. But, once you graduate, it’s worth it, especially if you find a job in your degree field. The total cost of attending school for one academic year averages around $56,500 at Franklin Pierce University. This includes tuition, room and board, books, supplies, and other various costs.

Luckily, you’re unlikely to have to pay the whole cost. You’ll be responsible for the average net price, which refers to the total left for a student to pay after their entire financial aid package has been applied for the year. In a recent academic year, this averaged $27,876 for all students. Even better, since financial aid is more readily available if your family has a lower annual income, those students whose families make less yearly will receive more financial aid and end up paying a lower average net price. Specifically, families earning less than $30,000 pay around $23,361, those families earning between $48,001 and $75,000 pay around $28,714, and families earning more than $110,001 pay around $30,323.

The entire freshman class also qualified for financial aid in the same year. Each student received $25,869 on average and 99% of the class received an average of $23,949 in institutional grants and scholarships.
