Calculate Your Tuition and Fees
Net price refers to how much you’ll pay toward tuition in a single academic year after scholarships and grants (two forms of financial aid that you don’t have to pay back) are accounted for. By using GCU’s Net Price Calculator (NPC), you’ll have a good picture of how much federal, state, and institutional aid you may be eligible to receive. In as little as ten minutes, you can have an estimate of how much aid you could receive.

Financial Aid Can Help You Afford Your Education
Georgian Court University is committed to making college affordable for all. Part of that commitment includes awarding millions of dollars in institutional aid to our students each year. This means that hardly anybody pays full tuition or “sticker price.”
Financial aid comes in a variety of forms, including scholarships, grants, loans, and more. Some forms of financial aid are need-based, while others are merit-based. Your need is determined by the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)—submitting this form before the deadline is key to obtaining financial aid. Our Office of Financial Aid is here to make the process simple.
Affording Your Education
Scholarships
Georgian Court University invests up to $19,000 per student in scholarships each year to help make your college dreams a reality.
Grants
