Net Price Calculator

Here is a link to the NESA Net Price Calculator.

A Net Price Calculator is designed to assist prospective undergraduate students and parents with estimating their expected family contribution and need-based financial aid award.   Although The New England School of Acupuncture is a graduate school, many students have found this calculator useful and the estimate is based on a student attending for the 2010-2011 academic year.   Tuition and living expenses have increased slightly,  please contact NESA's Financial Aid Office  about current tuition and living expenses.   The Net Price Calculator should be used by U.S. Citizens and permanent residents only.  In addition, The Net Price Calculator is not a resource for returning or graduate students. These students should contact the Office of Student Financial Services with questions related to their award packages.

 

Priority Deadlines:
