Hello everyone! I'm interested in Gannon University but I'm trying to get a grip on the financial aspect. Can anyone help me out by breaking down the cost of tuition, room and board, and any other fees? Are there any scholarship opportunities or financial aid programs I should keep an eye out for? Appreciate the help!
Hello! Gannon University is a private institution, so the cost of attendance will include tuition, room and board, and additional fees.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, Gannon University's tuition for full-time undergraduate students is approximately $38,110. Room and board for on-campus housing options range from about $15,960, depending on the residence hall you choose. In addition to these costs, there will be various fees for student services, technology, and other miscellaneous costs, which can amount to around $1,400.
Scholarship opportunities at Gannon include both merit-based scholarships and need-based grants. Merit-based scholarships are available to all accepted students and are awarded based on their academic achievement. Gannon offers several academic scholarships, such as the Presidential, Trustee, and Dean's scholarships, with amounts ranging from $5,000 to $19,000 per year. There are also honors and departmental scholarships that vary in their eligibility requirements and award amounts.
Gannon considers all accepted students for merit-based scholarships, and there is no separate application required. For need-based grants, you should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible to determine your eligibility. This will also open up the opportunity to apply for federal loans and work-study programs.
Make sure to explore external scholarships as well, as there are numerous opportunities available through local community organizations, foundations, and national competitions. Gannon's financial aid office can also provide you with more information and guidance on scholarship opportunities.
Remember to use Gannon University's Net Price Calculator to estimate your expected family contribution (EFC) and, in turn, your financial aid package. This will give you a more accurate idea of what you might be expected to pay and how much you may receive in grants and scholarships.
Good luck, and I hope this information helps you better understand the financial aspect of attending Gannon University!
