When students are accepted to Alfred University, they will get a minimum of 50% of the tuition in the value of the scholarship. The first part of the financial aid process is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly known as the FAFSA. And that determines the student's federal aid eligibility, and then all of our institutional aid, other than the scholarships awarded as merit from admissions is also determined based on that FAFSA calculation. We look at the entire picture. So whether you're in state or out of state, for most students, the tuition cost is the same. So if you have the same income levels, and the same academic requirements coming in, your financial aid package, and your net cost would be the same as that of an in state student. So know that coming in that we are very affordable.
So when you're looking for tools that can assist you with your college search and the financial aid process, keep in mind that Alfred University provides a net price calculator. Which can give you a pretty good estimate of what your out of pocket costs would be after the grants and scholarships that you would be awarded from Alfred University along with an estimate of what your federal and state aid would be. That's a really good tool that can then help you compare net cost across institutions. I would encourage you no matter where you are in your college search process to feel comfortable reaching out to us we're happy to assist you with any of your questions about financial aid. Give us the opportunity to show you that we are an affordable options to private institution.
