Frequently asked questions
-
Yes, we’re serious about seriously affordable education. That’s why Degrees+ is purposefully priced at just $6,370/year, which is well below the full Pell Grant of $7,395. With tuition this low, it opens up 3 paths to fully funded college:
1. Federal financial aid (including Pell Grants available to those who qualify—1 in 2 Americans do)
