Types of financial aid

A college education doesn’t cost as much as you may think.
These days, college is more important than ever, and at Goodwin University it’s more affordable than you may think.

We are committed to helping you identify financial aid opportunities that make attending college more affordable. During the admissions process, you’ll meet with one of our talented financial aid advisors to design a personalized financial aid package that meets your needs.

There are many kinds of financial aid available, including:

Transferring into Goodwin from a different school on a bit of short notice, they made what was a difficult and stressful financial maze easier to navigate. They were clear and honest with me and worked with me on a plan that allowed me to graduate on time and keep my costs manageable.
