Tuition & Financial Aid

Worcester State University is committed to providing an affordable education for all students. Here, tuition is 35% lower than other colleges and universities, and more than two-thirds of Worcester State students receive some form of financial aid. And all first-year students who apply to Worcester State are automatically considered for a Merit Scholarship.

This is why Worcester State has been recognized as one of the country’s “Best Value, Public Universities,” by The Princeton Review and earned a spot in the top 25% of Best ROI Universities in Massachusetts from Payscale.com.

The Financial Aid Office staff works to ensure that all qualified students are awarded up to their maximum eligibility from various funding sources. Your financial aid package may be a combination of different forms of assistance, including federal and state grants, loans, and federal work-study employment opportunities.

Worcester State is here to help you make this important investment in your education so that you will be prepared to shape your future––and the world.
