Cost & Aid
There isn't a one-size-fits-all price for college.
Factors that can affect your cost of attending UND include the cost of your specific program, where you live, if you attend class online or on-campus and your academic record.
Calculate Your Cost of College
The best way to figure out what UND will really cost you is to calculate your cost with financial aid. The price you actually pay is usually far less once your custom financial aid package is considered. Our Cost of Attendance Details page outlines all fees and disclaimers.

Keep in mind what you will pay for a computer and other personal expenses.
Can I get help paying for college?
Every year, UND awards more than $105 million in financial aid to help students pay for college. There are several types of financial aid that can help bring down your college costs, including:
- Scholarships - merit-based awards that don't have to be repaid
- Grants - need-based awards that don't have to be repaid
- Loans - money you have to repay

How to pay for college?
Don't make the mistake of not filing a FAFSA because you don't think you'll qualify for aid. Everyone is eligible for certain types of loans. There is no explicit income cutoff for need-based aid, such as subsidized student loans.
