Understand Costs and Financial Aid

Whether you are a first-time college student or returning to college to complete your degree, the journey to college can be overwhelming. Understanding the cost of attendance shouldn’t be.

What to Know about Paying for College

At every university, you’ll pay tuition and fees. You can explore those costs below. Peace offers financial aid to students through both gift money — grants and scholarships — and need-based aid. To qualify for need-based aid or student loans, you’ll need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
