However, remember that the majority of students receive some form of financial aid, whether that's scholarships, grants, work study, or loans, which can significantly reduce these costs. Alvernia University itself offers several scholarships based on academic achievement, service, and other qualities. Consider checking out their guide to applying for financial aid here: https://www.alvernia.edu/admissions-aid/office-student-financial-services/applying-financial-aid/financial-aid-how-apply-traditional-undergraduate-students. Don't forget to complete your FAFSA to see what kind of federal aid you're eligible for as well.
It's great that you're sorting out your financial plan early on. A good tool to use could be Alvernia's Net Price Calculator on their website, which gives you a personalized estimate of what you might pay after financial aid. Good luck with your planning!
