Hey everyone, I am sincerely considering applying to Princeton University but, I'm stressed about the cost. Does anyone know what the estimated cost for four years of tuition at Princeton is? Thanks!
Absolutely, I can assist you there. The tuition costs at Princeton University are subject to annual increases. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, tuition is approximately $62,400. per year. If the tuition remains constant over the next four years—which is unlikely—you'd be looking at about $249,600 for four years of tuition. However, these costs generally increase each year, so the total might end up being a bit more.
That being said, Princeton has a robust financial aid program and is committed to making a world-class education accessible for all admitted students. Aid packages are exclusively grants and work-study, not loans, meaning students graduate debt-free. For many students, you'll pay significantly less than the sticker price.
In fact, if your family makes less than $100,000 a year, you can expect to attend Princeton tuition-free. More than 62% of Princeton undergraduates receive financial aid, and the average award total is around $62,635 per year.
However, these are estimates, and you'd get a more accurate projection for your situation by using Princeton's financial aid calculator on their website. Hope this helps!
