Each year, the Office of Financial Assistance administers nearly $88 million in financial aid to undergraduates, with more than 93 percent of a student’s need met with the average financial aid package. Our program makes the cost of attending Bentley competitive with most other private schools — and with the in-state cost of many public colleges.

Many students do not pay the full cost of attendance, once grants and scholarships are awarded.  Please use our Net Price Calculator, which is designed to provide an early estimate of financial aid for first-year students. We hope that this tool will help you navigate the college admission and financial aid processes

2019-2020 Tuition and Fees for Domestic Students

* Room and board costs may vary based on actual accommodations and board plan selected. 
**All students are also assessed a student health insurance fee estimated to be $1,919. The fee can be waived if you can demonstrate comparable coverage under your family plan. You will receive more information on the waiver process with your fall term bill.

If you are an international student, please see our Certificate of Financial Resources form for Cost of Attendance.

As a supplement to the University Refund Policy, we offer a Tuition Insurance program through Liberty Mutual Insurance which provides 100% refund of all insured tuition, room and board, and certain fees. Coverage includes withdrawal due to illness, injury, mental health issues and other reasons. We suggest that you review the plan coverage to determine if it meets your needs. Visit the Tuition Insurance page to learn more.
