Every student is different. So is every financial aid offer. Financial aid comes in many forms, including grants and scholarships (based on need or merit), federal and state grants, work-study jobs, and federal direct subsidized and unsubsidized loans.

Helping you manage your expenses

Fordham offers payment options that can help make the expense more manageable. Additionally, many students find part-time work on campus. This year, the Student Employment Office placed more than 1,300 students in on-campus jobs.

  • Fordham offers a payment plan that is a simple and convenient way of dividing the annual cost of college over 10 months. This interest-free plan does not require a credit review.

  • You can avoid tuition rate increases for two, three, and up to four years with Fordham’s Tuition Stabilization Plan by prepaying the tuition for future terms at the current tuition rate.
