Cost of Attendance
Tuition and Fees for M.F.A. in Poetry in 2009-2010 can be found on the Business Office's site.
The residency fee will be charged for each residency the student attends, and is inclusive of all costs associated with the residency, including but not limited to room and board.
By New Jersey law, students who do not have their own health coverage are required to purchase coverage from the university at an additional cost. The Drew University Insurance plan runs yearly from August 15 through August 15. First-year students in the MFA program who do not already have insurance must, therefore, purchase a rider so that they will be insured during the time of the January and/or June residencies. The cost of coverage from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 is $1,485.00. Read more about the health insurance plan for students offered by Drew University.
Scholarships and Financial Aid
Financial aid comes in two forms, academic merit scholarships, and need-based aid. Applicants for scholarships and aid must fill out the Drew Supplemental Financial Aid Form and return it to the Office of Financial Assistance.
Academic Merit Scholarships are competetive and range from 10% to 50% of tuition. The application for admission serves as an application for merit scholarships.
Need-based aid takes the form of loans and work-study. In order to be considered for need-based aid, an applicant must fill out the federal FAFSA form and return it to the processor. To have the report sent to Drew, please use School Code 002603.
Contact the Office of Financial Assistance for more information.
