Hey folks, I'm really interested in Eastern University but kinda unsure about the whole tuition thing. Anyone got some insight on how much it costs? Is there any form of financial aid available for students? Really appreciate any information!
Absolutely, I'm glad to help you with that. Eastern University tuition for full-time undergraduate students is approximately $37,680 per year, which usually does not cover room, board, and other fees.
However, it's important to remember that most students do not end up paying the sticker price. In fact, roughly 100% of the students at Eastern University are provided some form of financial aid. This assistance can come in a variety of forms, including need-based aid, merit scholarships, loans, and work-study opportunities.
Particularly, the university offers a range of grants for students that demonstrate financial need, such as Pell Grants for lower-income families, and other institutional aid.
Also, many students receive merit-based scholarships for high academic achievement, community service, and other activities. It's worth noting that over half of the students receive some kind of merit-based scholarship, with the average amount being around $13,000.
Another way Eastern University helps out is through a federal work-study program. Students with financial need can work part-time jobs on or off campus to help pay for their education.
Remember to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) early, generally by the priority deadline, to be considered for the most financial aid.
Certainly, I would advise you to look into their website or get in touch with the financial aid office directly for more precise information. They can provide you with a more detailed description of your financial aid opportunities, as well as personal advice. I hope this helps! Stay positive!
