Paying for a Penn Education

Graduate and Professional Students

 

It is well known that the cost of a graduate or professional education today is a major investment for most students and their families. The University of Pennsylvania understands this, and is committed to making a Penn education accessible for all talented and qualified students.

This section outlines Penn's financial aid policy and programs, as well as long-term payment options. If you still have questions after reading through this information please contact Student Financial Services and we will be happy to help you.
