by our College Data Analytics TeamA large number of students will not be asked to pay the advertised price of a school. Instead, they will be provided a financial aid package that will include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. The total price of attendance at Yeshiva University can feel overwhelming, but bear in mind that many students receive some sort of financial aid.
What financial aid options can Yeshiva offer you, and what will you qualify for? Keep reading for more information. Keep reading to learn how much school funding will be available to you.
The amount of financial aid and scholarships you are eligible for will vary depending on your family’s income. Continue reading to find information to help you understand just how much assistance you can expect to receive from Yeshiva University.
Financial assistance, available as scholarships, loans, and work-study, is a way schools lower the price of attendance so many students can enroll. Note that some aid is more valuable than the rest, and individual awards are far from uniform.
Among first-time, full-time freshmen at Yeshiva University, 94% of first-time, full-time freshmen received some form of financial aid (about 584 new students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 94% | $31,510 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 94% | $30,373 |
| Federal Pell grants | 14% | $5,611 |
| State/local grants | 6% | $3,622 |
| Federal student loans | 21% | $5,665 |
Grants and scholarships are the most valuable form of aid because, unlike loans, they never have to be repaid. At Yeshiva, around 87% of undergraduate students received gift aid averaging $30,264 (covering around 2720 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 87% | $30,264 |
| Federal Pell grants | 13% | $5,597 |
| Federal student loans | 16% | $6,179 |
Among title-IV aid recipients living on campus, grant and scholarship aid averaged $20,927.
Since aid is largely need-based, the real cost of attendance falls steeply for lower-income families.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $26,506 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $27,998 |
| Over $75,000 | $64,224 |
Each figure is the net price after grants and scholarships, not the published sticker price.
Net price is the average annual cost after grants and scholarships are subtracted from the published cost of attendance — the figure closest to what a typical aid-receiving student actually pays.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $49,965 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $47,560 |
