Just a junior crunching numbers here. Does anyone know what it costs to attend Palm Beach Atlantic University, including tuition and fees? Also, are there any available scholarships or tuition discounts that could help out a bit?
Sure. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition and fees for Palm Beach Atlantic University are approximately $39,400 per year. This does not include room and board or other associated costs like textbooks, personal expenses and transportation, which typically pushes the total cost to above $54,000 per year.
In terms of available scholarships or tuition discounts, Palm Beach Atlantic University does offer several types of financial aid, including both merit-based scholarships and need-based aid. Academic scholarships are awarded based on a review of high school transcripts, GPAs, and—when submitted—SAT/ACT scores, as it's a test-optional school. The highest academic awards can cut close to half the tuition cost.
There are also other forms of financial aid available like Grants, Work-Study, and loans. Additionally, PBAU participates in Florida's "Effective Access to Student Education (EASE)" program, which provides tuition assistance to Florida residents attending private in-state colleges.
However, please be aware that you need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be eligible for most types of aid. The FAFSA opens every year on October 1 and you'd want to fill this out as soon as possible after that date to maximize your aid opportunities.
Make sure to check out the school's own financial aid pages for the most accurate and updated information, and don't hesitate to reach out to their financial aid office directly with any questions you have! They would be able to provide more personalized and school-specific details. Good luck!
