Plan and Estimate your Share of College Costs
| This Financial Aid Calculator can help you determine what financial aid you would qualify for if you attend Arcadia University as a full-time, first-degree, undergraduate student. As such, it is intended for current high school juniors, seniors, or transfer students. Get an instant ESTIMATE of your Federal Expected Family Contribution as well as an ESTIMATE of merit and need-based aid you might be eligible for. |
| Keep in mind the
following: |
- The calculator only provides an estimate
of your Federal Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is not
necessarily what your out-of-pocket cost will be. The Arcadia
Financial Aid Office is the final authority on your exact EFC.
Arcadia uses the information from your official FAFSA (Free
Application for Federal Student Aid) to calculate your EFC and
prepare your official aid package.
- Please
note, results of the on-line calculator are based on packaging and
scholarship formulas in place for the fall 2009 and spring 2010
entering classes. Those students entering fall 2010 and
beyond, while welcome to utilize the tool, should note that awards
could potentially increase as scholarship amounts and formulas
change each year.
- Because merit aid/scholarships are based
on self-reported academic information, the calculator will only
provide an estimate of your eligibility for scholarships. The
Arcadia Scholarship Committee makes the official determination of
scholarships after acceptance, weighing factors like school
competitiveness, courseload, types of courses taken (Honors, AP,
etc.), along with overall grades/cumulative GPA, standardized test
scores (for freshmen), rank (if available), and overall
involvement.
- The EFC and estimated aid calculation provided are only as
reliable as the data you enter. Information from your most
recent federal tax return is best (preferably your 2008
federal tax return if it has been filed). If you have not filed
for 2008 yet, use your best estimate. If you will not file a tax
return for 2008, other information on sources of income for the
2008 calendar year will be required
- This calculator does not apply to International Students.
- Special circumstances (reduced income, etc.) are treated on a
case by case basis. This information should be communicated
directly to the Arcadia Financial Aid Office at the time you officially apply for financial aid.
