Why We Are a Great Value
U.S. News and World Report ranks Niagara University in the category "Best University-Master's" in the North. The Princeton Review chose Niagara as one of its select colleges and universities in the Northeast (see our profile in the 2008 edition of 'The Best Northeastern Colleges"). The university is also one of only approximately 250 institutions nationwide selected as a member of the Colleges of Distinction, chosen for possessing four key attributes: engaged students, great teaching, vibrant community, and successful outcomes.
When you enroll at Niagara University, you are getting a prestigious private college education for a cost that is often comparable to that of a state institution when you consider our generous financial aid packages.
Cost
For 2009-20010, the annual cost to attend Niagara is $23,700 (tuition), $10,250 (room and board), and $100 (student service fee).
Financial Aid & Scholarships
Ninety-eight percent of entering students receive some form of financial aid, with an average financial aid package of $17,510 per year. This package may combine scholarships, grants, student employment (work study), and loans.
Locked-In Tuition Rates
To help manage tuition cost, NU offers the unique Level Tuition Plan (LTP) that stabilizes the cost of tuition over four years. Open to new, first-time, full-time, undergraduate freshmen, the plan allows students to pay a slightly higher rate for the first year, so that they will be guaranteed that same rate for the remaining three years.
