Estimate Your Cost and Aid

An education at Northwestern is more affordable than you might think.

Northwestern's commitment to affordability begins with financial aid that meets every student's demonstrated need. No matter your financial circumstances, our goal is to remove cost as a barrier to higher education.

Estimate Your Cost

Northwestern's Undergraduate Financial Aid Office will not make an official offer until after a student is admitted, but you can calculate an estimate at any time by using one of the tools below.
