Hello! I've been considering Cheyney University for a while now and I'm trying to figure out my ability to afford it. Can anyone help me out with the current tuition costs? Also, suggestions for how to go about gathering financial aid info would be appreciated. Thanks!
Sure, happy to help with this! As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition and fees for Cheyney University for in-state students is approximately $10,904, while for out-of-state students, it's around $18,870. Bear in mind that these figures do not include housing, meals, books, and personal expenses.
As far as financial aid goes, the first step you should take is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This determines your eligibility for federal and state financial aid, such as grants, work-study, and low-interest student loans. Also, the Student Aid Index (SAI) determined by your FAFSA will be used by the university to assess your family's financial need and the amount of institutional aid you may be eligible for.
Next, you might want to look into scholarships. Scholarships can be based on a wide variety of factors, including academic achievement, community service, leadership, and more. Start by checking out Cheyney University's website or reaching out to the financial aid office to learn about any institutional scholarships that may be available. You should also do an online search for external scholarships for which you may be eligible.
Lastly, be sure to consider work-study opportunities on campus, as these can also help offset the cost of tuition. If you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask!
