Dual-Degree BA or BS/MAT in Secondary Education (4+1) Tuition and Financial Aid
We know that college is a huge investment and one of the most important ones you’ll ever make. That’s why we’re invested in helping make your Quinnipiac education affordable. Whether it’s grants, scholarships, loans or a job, we’ll help you explore every option and make a plan that works for you.
Tuition Remission
Earn your master’s degree without breaking the bank.
In the Dual-Degree MAT (4+1) program, you will experience significant cost savings while pursuing your graduate degree. Your first graduate semester begins immediately after you complete your undergraduate degree with a 7-week summer semester. This is the only semester you will be responsible for paying the full tuition and fees. During the next semester (fall), you will intern in a school while attending evening courses. This internship enables you to attend tuition free, paying only fees for the fall. In the spring, you will continue your internship and complete your student teaching. As such, this final semester you are charged for only half of the tuition along with the fees.
How to Apply for Financial Aid
2
Review your financial aid offer notification
At the end of January, offer notifications are prepared. In your notification, we will explain the details of your financial aid package, which can include grants, scholarships, federal student loans and work-study.
3
Complete your Entrance Counseling and Master Promissory Note (MPN) online for federal loans
Students who accept a federal student loan for the first time are required to complete the Entrance Counseling session and also sign a Master Promissory Note. These two tasks must be completed before the loan proceeds can be disbursed to the school on the student’s behalf. This process takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and can be accessed 24 hours a day at the Federal Student Aid government website, studentaid.gov
Returning borrowers are required to complete an annual Informed Borrowing Confirmation. This requirement can also be completed at the Federal Student Aid website, studentaid.gov
4
Pay your balance
Students and parents can apply for a PLUS loan, private loan or payment plan to cover costs not met by financial aid.
To cover a remaining balance, families have the choice of establishing a payment plan and/or borrowing from a variety of lenders.
Net Price Calculator
Use the Net Price Calculator to understand what you might pay
You may be surprised to know that nationwide — for students attending private, four-year colleges — the average family can pay much less than the college’s published price. The Net Price Calculator is the ideal tool to help full-time, incoming first-year students estimate what the annual cost* would be to attend Quinnipiac.
*In assessing a family's Expected Family Contribution (EFC), the university requires just the FAFSA form. Families that know their federal EFC can enter these figures into the calculator when prompted. For those who have not yet completed the FAFSA, you will need to have estimated income, tax and asset data available for the calculator to provide you with an estimation of your eligibility for grants, scholarships, loans and work-study programs.
It is important to note that the Net Price Calculator is only designed to provide estimates for full-time, first-year undergraduate students.
The receipt of additional assistance such as athletic scholarships, employee benefits, Tuition Exchange grants, veterans benefits, outside scholarships, etc., may affect the estimated aid being calculated. Please contact our office if you qualify for aid outside of the resources being provided in the calculator.
