Undergraduate Financial Aid
As a prospective Fairfield University student, you are considering an outstanding, private Jesuit institution that requires a significant investment. The value of this investment - both academically and personally - will not only be realized over your four years as a student at Fairfield, but you will reap the benefits in the years well beyond college when you are enjoying a successful career and an enriching life.
Fairfield offers you the kind of education that:
- Makes you an agile thinker with the multidisciplinary education to form a well-rounded citizen and scholar.
- Encourages you to develop the intellect, skills and confidence to make your own way in the world, and perhaps change it for the better.
Applicants often assume they cannot afford a highly selective liberal arts college such as Fairfield University, but we are committed to helping you do exactly that. There are a number of ways financial aid can help close the gap between what a family can afford to pay and the full cost of attendance. We are here to advise you on how to bridge the gap and make a Fairfield University education a reality for you.
