Cost of Study and Financial Aid

The cost of study changes slightly every year. 2007-2008 figures from the Dean of Students Office are $37,300 tuition/fees, $1,820 basic insurance, $1,740 books/supplies, with room and board expenses varying based on individual student needs. Please visit the Student Loan Administration site for loan information.

The MAPSS program offers merit-based tuition scholarships (full and partial) on a highly competitive basis. Aid is offered at the same time as admission. Over the years, a number of international students have been selected as International House Fellows, allowing them a significant discount in the cost of living at International House. Contact International House for more information at (773) 753-2270. For students who are U.S. citizens or have permanent resident status, other sources of financial support include area and language fellowships, low-interest loans, and work-study programs. The Career Advising and Planning Services Office may be able to assist students, including those on student visas, in finding on-campus employment.
