Cost and Financial Aid
Financial Aid
At University of the Sciences we provide a variety of financial assistance to make your educational investment affordable for you and your family. The entire Financial Aid Office staff is available to help with every step of the process.
Undergraduate and first professional students have the potential to receive University need-based and merit awards, state grants, federal grants and loans, and part-time employment. (Graduate students, click here for more specialized information.) We review all applications and award assistance in the forms and amounts most appropriate to your needs based on your financial situation and program of study.
If you have applied for admission, or if you are a continuing student, we encourage you to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which must be completed in order for you to be considered for financial assistance. It is recommended that you complete the FAFSA online. Paper copies can be requested at 800.4.FED.AID. The FAFSA can not be submitted any sooner than January 1st and annually, the priority date to submit the FAFSA is March 15th.
