For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $29,691, with $600 in required fees, for $30,291 before living and other expenses. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Full-time graduate tuition was $31,695, plus $600 in required fees.
These are published academic charges, not a complete annual budget. Students also need to plan for off-campus housing, food, books and materials, transportation, and personal expenses; studio or equipment needs can matter in design programs. Actual aid changes what an individual pays. In 2024-25, 88% of students received financial aid and 54% had student loans. The reported average grant aid awarded to undergraduates was $13,374, but an average award is not a promise of eligibility or a deduction that every applicant can make from tuition.
Eligible students may be able to use federal grants and loans, applicable state aid, institutional scholarships, and veteran or military education benefits. They should complete the required aid applications and compare their individual award notice with a full cost-of-attendance budget. Reported average net prices, where available for an income group, describe past students after aid; they are not personalized price quotes.
NewSchool students can pursue part-time work and career-related experience, but a job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job; receiving an award does not itself place a student in a position or provide money before hours are worked.
Students interested in Work-Study should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify and how approved openings are posted. Separately, the school reports career services including individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking. Those services can support a search for internships or regular employment, but they are not verified job-placement outcomes. An internship is not reported as a requirement for every NewSchool student, so program requirements should be checked separately.
