Financial Aid and Tuition
Planning how you will pay for college is as important as choosing where and what you will study. Using resources detailed in these pages, learn about the tuition rates and fees that apply to you and about the types of assistance you may qualify for. Scholarships, grants, loans, and financial aid are some of the many benefits available to help you meet your education costs.
Once you have determined your expenses, you'll want to organize a list of the appropriate deadlines and paperwork required. The Student Financial Services Office and your Bay Path Online admissions staff are trained to help you coordinate the financial aspects of your education.
For U.S. citizens and permanent residents, the options for financial assistance include federal and private loans. Scholarships are available to qualifying students in the Nonprofit Management and Philanthropy Programs. We encourage you to apply for financial aid at the same time you apply to school.
Tuition
For the 2008-2009 academic year the tuition and fees are:
Tuition (per credit) : $580.00
Returned Check Fee: $15.00
Course Lab Fees vary by course; refer to course descriptions for amounts.
Indirect Costs are defined as expenses you will incur that are not billed by the College. These charges include books and supplies, and personal expenses. The cost to students will vary depending upon the number of courses taken during the semester and the student’s program of study.
How to Apply
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on-line. Designate on your FAFSA that you want your application information sent to Bay Path College by including school code # 002122.
In addition, graduate students must also complete the Bay Path College Application for Financial Aid and send a signed copy of your and/or spouses, if applicable, current federal income tax return to the Student Financial Services Office.
If you are not required to file a tax return, complete a Non-Tax Filer’s Form. The Bay Path College Application for Financial Aid and the Non-Tax Filer’s Form can be downloaded from this web site or you can contact the Student Financial Services Office to request the applications be mailed to you.
Application Deadline
All financial aid applications must be submitted and received in the Student Financial Services Office at least two weeks prior to the semester for which you will enroll. Please note - the FAFSA should be completed at least three weeks prior to the start of the semester to ensure the processed application is received by Bay Path College within two weeks prior to the start of the semester.
