Masters Program

Applicants needing federal and institutional financial assistance to help with the cost of attending a school or program at UMB must complete the Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA).

Please note:

  • USFA strongly encourages completing the FAFSA at studentaid.gov no later than March 1st for priority consideration. UMB School Code: 002104
  • The 2023-2024 FAFSA covers the 2023-2024 Academic Year (Summer 2023, Fall 2023 and Spring 2024).
  • Students must complete a FAFSA for every academic year they wish to receive assistance.

Estimated Cost of Attendance

The Cost of Attendance (COA) is the maximum amount of financial assistance available to a student in one academic year. The COA is determined using each student’s enrollment and residency classification (Resident or Non-Resident). Tuition is based upon enrollment of fourteen (14) credits for CNL and six (6) credits for Graduate.

Applicants are awarded 100% of the Cost of Attendance with assistance from federal and institutional resources
