Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows the current tuition costs for University of Pennsylvania? Some info about financial aid availability would also be helpful!
Hey there! The University of Pennsylvania, also known as UPenn, has an estimated annual tuition and fees of $66,104 for the 2024-2025 academic year. This cost only covers tuition and does not include other expenses like housing, meal plans, books, or personal expenses.
As for financial aid, UPenn is committed to making education accessible to students from all income backgrounds. The University follows a need-based financial aid policy and meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted undergraduate students. UPenn has a no-loan policy, which means that financial aid packages often consist of grants and work-study opportunities, instead of loans that need to be repaid.
To apply for financial aid, you'll need to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and CSS Profile. The deadlines for these forms might vary, but generally, you should submit them around the same time you submit your application to UPenn. Make sure to check the university's financial aid website for the most up-to-date deadlines.
If you're interested in learning more about what your financial aid package at UPenn might look like, you can utilize their Net Price Calculator on the financial aid website. This tool will give you an estimate of your aid package based on your family's financial situation.
In addition to need-based aid, Penn also offers some merit-based scholarships, though they are limited. You can explore various scholarship opportunities on their website and investigate external scholarships as well to help fund your education.
