Recently, as part of our commitment to creating greater access and affordability for all students, FDU announced a significant tuition reduction:
FDU is reducing the base full-time undergraduate tuition rate for all new students on the New Jersey campuses beginning in fall 2021 to $32,000. This represents a 22-25% reduction from the current base rates.
This initiative joins several important measures on behalf of our students:
- FDU is freezing tuition rates for two consecutive years. There was no increase for the 2020-21 academic year and there again will be no increase for the 2021-22 academic year. That marks three consecutive years of the same tuition rate!
- The University has provided generous discounts for winter and now summer courses to help students accelerate the completion of their degrees.
- FDU has restructured graduate tuition rates — simplifying and, in many programs, reducing the cost.
- FDU has renewed its commitment to help students graduate in four years, and created a new campaign to generate increased scholarship funds.
The new undergraduate tuition rate is especially important. While many people know the value of an FDU education, many students and their families did not believe they could afford the tuition, and they often were unaware of the generous FDU merit awards and financial aid. We believe the new tuition rate will encourage more students to consider FDU and gain the benefits of a transformative education.
We invite and encourage you to contact the University to discuss your financial aid package. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid at 973-443-8700 on the Florham Campus and 201-692-2363 on the Metropolitan Campus, or by email at finaid@fdu.edu.
