A Fordham education is an investment in your future.

We strive to help you determine the combination of financing options and resources that serve you best. We provide a variety of options, including loan programs, gift aid (offered through your graduate school), and payment plans, that can make your education more affordable. We’re excited to support you as you take the next step in furthering your education with us. 

Cost of Attendance

The Cost of Attendance is an amount used to determine your maximum financial aid eligibility for an academic year.

Gift Aid, Assistantships, and Veteran Initiatives

Gift aid and assistantships are offered exclusively through each academic department within the University. Fordham commits to our veteran students by participating in multiple programs that offer them financial support.

Loan Resources

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans, Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans and Private Education Loans are offered through the Office of Student Financial Services.

Federal Verification

Federal verification is a process which requires institutions to verify the accuracy of the information provided on a student’s FAFSA.

Graduate SAP Policies

The standards for SAP vary by school. Each school takes into account the student’s GPA, as well as their rate of progress, through the student’s program of study.
