Affording Alfred

We're committed to making quality affordable

A top private school education doesn't have to come with the burden of high debt. At Alfred, we strive to be innovators in everything we do, including reducing the financial and social barriers to excellent education. From scholarships to work study and more, we can connect you with tools that can put an Alfred education within reach.

Financial Aid

Here are a few things to think about:

  • You won't have to do it on your own: 97% of our students receive some form of financial aid.
  • We distribute $25 million a year in grants and scholarships - they don't have to be paid back.
  • Most of our financial aid packages include twice as much value in non-repayable grants as they do in loans.
  • We urge all prospective students to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It's not just for federal loans - it could also get you a work study job on campus. Our Federal School code for FAFSA is: 002668
