Let's face it, you're about to make a significant investment in your future. Even though FSU is one of the most affordable colleges around - especially considering the quality and quantity of our programs - you might need a little extra help bridging the gap between your budget and your need.
We've assembled a video below to answer basic questions about your financial aid options here, including information about grants, work study, loans, and FSU's institutional scholarships.
If you would like to calculate an estimate of what your net costs would be to attend Framingham State please use our Net Price Calculator.
