Estimated Total Cost of Attendance
The Point Park University Financial Aid Office, per federal aid regulations, establishes student budgets each year as a basis for determining financial aid funding. These budgets are based on direct costs for tuition, fees, food and housing if residing on campus. They also include estimated indirect (non-billable) costs for the academic year (fall and spring semesters).
The following estimated cost of attendance example is based on the following assumptions:
- Student is full-time (12-18 credits)
- Resident- a student residing in a standard dorm room with a 19-meal plan
- Commuter- a student that resides at home with parents/relatives
For the 2024-2025 academic year, 99 percent of our incoming freshmen received some type of financial aid, with an average assistance package of $33,505. After reviewing costs, incoming freshman and transfer students can receive a personal estimate of a possible scholarship amount by using our net price calculators.
