Additional Information

The Financial Aid Office at Monmouth administers grants, scholarships, loans, financing options, & employment opportunities for students. Students are considered for both University scholarships (based on the student’s academic performance) & federal & state need-based grants (eligibility is determined by the student’s/family’s financial circumstances). A wide range of loans & popular financing options are available, with programs for both students & parents to borrow long-term loans with low interest rates & flexible repayment plans. We also provide interest-free monthly payment plans that require no borrowing. Students may also be able to earn money through employment opportunities, both on & off campus.
Financial aid is offered based upon financial need, enrollment status, availability of funds, maintenance of satisfactory academic progress, & meeting eligibility requirements.
Monmouth’s Net Price Calculator can be used to estimate a student’s potential cost of attending, including how much aid he/she may qualify for. Please visit monmouth.edu/finaid.
