Tuition & Financial Aid

TUITION AND FINANCIAL AID

The main source of financial aid for Fielding students is through federal student loans. Our financial aid department can assist you with the process of applying for financial aid. Please call 800-340-1099, select option 4, and schedule an appointment. You can also reach them via email FinAid@Fielding.edu.

Tuition is charged per term, independent of the number of credits taken. For current tuition information, please visit Fielding.edu/TuitionFees.

Costs of attending national sessions, PDS, books, etc. are not included in tuition. Attending a residential session can average $1,500 per session, but varies depending on where one lives, and other similar factors. The budget for transportation to PDS and practicum, books, computer upkeep can average $275/month ($3,300/year).

There are tuition discounts at different points in the program; to read more about tuition and fees, please refer to our website, Fielding.edu/Tuition.
