-- Newman University reports that 97% of its undergraduate students receive financial aid, a statistic that underscores the institution's commitment to making higher education accessible for families navigating affordability concerns.

According to data from the Kansas Board of Regents, the average annual cost at Kansas private colleges stands at $27,143, yet Newman's average net price after aid totals $17,821—a difference of nearly $10,000 that directly addresses what families actually pay rather than sticker prices alone. The university achieves this affordability through a layered system of funding sources, including institutional scholarships, need-based grants, and federal programs such as Pell Grants and Federal Work-Study, all structured to reduce the burden on households concerned about the rising expense of postsecondary education.
Newman's aid offerings serve both first-time and transfer students, recognizing that pathways to enrollment vary and that funding must be flexible to meet diverse circumstances. First-time students can access awards ranging from the St. Newman Scholarship covering full tuition to the Monsignor McNeill Scholarship at $20,000 annually, the ASC Scholarship at $18,000, and Newman Academic Scholarships between $13,000 and $16,000, with most renewable for five years. Transfer students qualify for academic scholarships from $10,000 to $17,000 per year based on GPA and completed coursework, renewable for three years, signaling long-term support for non-traditional enrollment routes.
Beyond merit-based awards, the university integrates need-based aid for high-need students and federal programs including the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and federal loans. This structure ensures that families with varying financial circumstances can find tailored support. Institutional scholarships and grants require full-time enrollment, and the application process is streamlined through an online system anchored by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which determines eligibility for both federal and institutional assistance.
Newman also maintains an extensive list of outside scholarships with detailed requirements and application instructions, reflecting a strategy that encourages students to maximize all available resources rather than relying solely on institutional funding. The university provides transparent information through financial aid advisors, frequently asked questions, and the admissions office, reinforcing that accessibility extends to the application experience itself.
Prospective students and families can review scholarship details, federal aid options, and application resources through the university's online portal. For further information, visit https://newmanu.edu/
