Cost for Undergraduates
Financial Aid
Financial aid can include grants, scholarships, loans, and/or the Federal Work Study Program. Rutgers uses your FAFSA or NJ Alternative Financial Aid Application to develop a financial aid package based on your unique qualifications, financial need, and the funds available to the university.
Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF)
The New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) is a state-sponsored program available to students that show promise but need additional financial and academic support. The program provides services designed to foster community, assist with financial literacy and academic success, and provide leadership development through access to professional networks and resources relevant to this rapidly evolving world. The goal is success far beyond your college graduation.
Scholarships
Rutgers offers a range of both merit-based and need-based scholarships to qualifying students, in amounts that vary by school.
