Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

It’s important you don’t eliminate a school just because the cost of attendance seems insurmountable. Take a close look at the financial aid page of the school website and use tools such as College Navigator to estimate your out of pocket expenses. The net price of your education means the original cost minus funds from other sources such as grants and scholarships, so it may not be as expensive as it first appears.

You should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible, as this will give you a good idea where you stand financially. The FAFSA is also required for most scholarship and grant applications as well as applications for federal educational loans.
