They have scholarships for NMF, but not everyone gets it.

Fordham COA is similar to most private colleges/universities.

It's very expensive to go to school in NYC, so $20k at Fordham does not go very far.

I got full tuition for NMF, only way I could have attended. I believe this is still the case.

My son was offered $37K per year back in 2018.

I read they give full tuition to Nmsf/nmf

Hi! I requested the CDS by email. They do willingly send them. I deleted them when kid said they don’t want to apply any longer.

Ugh. Doesn't sound like much.

Hi, our DC22 applied RD, 3.91UW, 1510, 'most rigorous' checked (at least that is what counselor told kid), offered $20K/year scholarship. No financial aid.

Last year my kid applied EA, a social sciences major, 3.9 uw/4.7 weighted GPA, 33 ACT. Offered $24k/year in merit (no financial aid). Attending elsewhere, however.

Their most recent posted common data set says about 2/3 of students without need got merit aid and their average merit award was $20,471

One thing a little questionable is that they have not posted common data sets for the past two years, only "available upon request." I'd definitely ask for those. It seems sketchy that they are not being up front with their data so things may have changed.

We will not qualify for need-based financial aid. However, it looks like Fordham requires both the FAFSA and the CSS to get merit aid as well.

yes - ~ 25% tuition break
