Tuition and Financial Aid Overview


From its founding, Fairfield University has been committed to providing educational opportunities to motivated students of diverse social and economic backgrounds. While the students and his/her family have primary responsibility for college expenses, Fairfield University sees this as a shared endeavor and will assist students with as much financial aid as possible.

To support this aim, Fairfield administers a comprehensive financial aid program, using its own financial resources, as well as state, federal funds, and private resources to support students. Fairfield University awarded over $31.5 million dollars of its own financial resources in the 2008-09 academic year.
