Tuition and Scholarships

The estimated cost of attendance is published on the Tuition and Fees 2012-2013 page on the university's website.

Financial assistance to undergraduate students is based on their admission applications (academic credentials and portfolios) and, for U.S. citizens and residents, the information they submit on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students from countries other than the United States do not file the FAFSA but are considered for scholarships on the basis of their admission applications. Visit the Tuition and Financial Aid page for more information.

All students who apply by the priority scholarship deadline are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships as part of the admission process.
