Accelerated nursing students are eligible to apply to be considered for financial aid. Aid packages usually include a combination of grants and federal student loans.
The program has a fixed cost for the year and it is billed in three installments: fall, spring (which includes a j-term class), and summer.
Keep in mind that when you apply for financial aid, your cost of attendance budget includes both your direct costs (tuition and fees) as well as indirect costs (rent, books, food, etc.) for which you can borrow.
All students seeking financial assistance need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online as soon as possible after it opens. Please note: The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will open in December 2023; the Department of Education has not yet released the exact date. Applicants are encouraged to file the FAFSA to apply for financial aid as early as possible.
Quinnipiac's FAFSA code is 001402.
Offer notifications are prepared by the Financial Aid Office and are issued to students to explain the details of the financial aid offer, which may include grants, scholarships, federal student loans and work study.
To cover a remaining balance due to the university, after financial aid has been applied against the invoice, families have the choice of establishing a semester payment plan and/or borrowing from the Federal Direct Parent PLUS loan or a variety of private lenders.
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.
We know that navigating the financial aid process can be daunting, but our goal is to make it easier for you.
There are several ways to help offset the cost of your education.
