Costs and Types of Assistance
FINANCIAL AID AND FAFSA UPDATE: Due to significant delays in the receipt of the 2024-2025 FAFSA, processing financial aid is delayed. We are working diligently to respond as quickly as possible so that families can make plans to manage their student bill. While we have released our initial round of returning student awards, we still require additional time to process offers of financial assistance for those students who have already completed both the FAFSA and CSS Profile. Please view your Cyberfriar and the Torch Portal, if requested, to view outstanding requirements.

Estimating Your Costs
The Cost of Attendance is the total expenses a student would typically incur in a given academic year of full-time enrollment at Providence College. This figure is comprised of both direct expenses, which will appear on your student billing statement (i.e., tuition, fees, housing and food), and indirect expenses, which will not appear on your student billing statement (i.e., allowance for books, personal expenses). The amounts we use to determine indirect expenses are estimates and are based on the amounts students typically spend/incur in a given academic year. The chart below represents sample Cost of Attendance figures (full-time) for several student populations:
