Villanova is committed to making our high-quality education affordable for every student.

Villanova University is dedicated to providing students and parents with financial aid, including grants, scholarships, loans and student employment, as well as payment options to assist in meeting educational expenses.

You may be surprised by how favorably Villanova University compares to "lower-cost" schools! The actual out-of-pocket cost to attend Villanova is often the same as that of  less-costly institutions, because grants, loans, and other forms of aid can fill the financial gap between the total cost of attendance and what your family can afford.

Prospective students entering 2014-2015 and Fall 2014 transfers: Find out more information on how to apply for the 2014-15 academic year.

**Prospective Freshmen: Awards for students accepted to Villanova University for the Class of 2018 can expect to view their awards, via MyNova, after 5 PM on March 28, 2014.  Please keep in mind that if your financial aid file is incomplete, the awards are tentative and can change once the missing documents are received and reviewed.
