Private Non-Profit Quality

NewU is a Private Nonprofit university with faculty from other private and public nonprofit universities such as Columbia, Georgetown, George Washington, UMD, and other great colleges and industry practitioners. Our prices are affordable because we don’t spend your tuition money on athletics, hospitals, and research. We provide quality education at a great price as a result of thoughtful innovation and focus on student growth and learning experiences.

College That Won’t Break the Bank
Whether you compare to public or private universities, NewU tuition and fees are lower than the average for any type of Bachelor’s degree college. And getting your BA or BS degree at NewU takes only 3 years to earn, not 4 (no summer semesters or extra classes each semester!). Each year at NewU costs less, plus students and parents save an entire year of time and money.

Complete Financial Aid Visibility
NewU determines your need-based scholarship based on your family income, and you get clear visibility into your cost of attendance for tuition, fees, and books here. We substitute any FAFSA/Pell grant with an institutional grant. And if you are eligible for federally subsidized or unsubsidized loans, we will offer an installment payment plan with 0 interest.

Tuition Freeze
NewU has a tuition freeze for all enrolled students. “Tuition Freeze” means that NewU will not increase the posted tuition for the 3 years required to get your Bachelor’s here. NewU is  the only university in the the DC metro area to make a Tuition Freeze Guarantee to students and families.

Lowest Tuition Guarantee
If you get an offer for a lower effective tuition* from another in-person Bachelor’s degree program in the US, we will match it. Just send us the financial aid offer letter from the other school, and we will update ours so that it’s your best one.

*Effective tuition = out-of-pocket tuition + applicable loans for the year at the other school. Does not apply to online, community college, or non-degree programs.
