This page carries the cost figures for Northmoor. They are published here and not repeated on program pages, so that there is a single number to maintain rather than several that drift apart.
Figures below are for the 2026–27 academic year.
Undergraduate
| Item | Annual cost |
|---|---|
| Tuition, full time | $38,400 |
| University fees | $1,850 |
| Housing and meals, on campus | $14,200 |
| Books, equipment and personal | $2,400 (estimate) |
| Estimated total, on campus | $56,850 |
Field course costs are included in tuition. Personal field equipment — boots, foul weather gear — is not, and runs to roughly $300 in the first year. The field station charges no additional fee for course residency.
Graduate
| Item | Annual cost |
|---|---|
| Tuition, full time | $29,600 |
| University fees | $1,320 |
Doctoral students admitted with funding receive a tuition waiver and a stipend; the terms are set at admission and vary by supervisor and funding source. The graduate certificate in Coastal Resilience is charged per course.
Financial aid
Most undergraduates receive some aid. The main sources are:
Need-based institutional grant. Assessed from your financial aid application. This is the largest single source of aid at Northmoor and does not require a separate application beyond the standard forms.
Merit scholarships. Awarded at admission on academic record. No separate application.
The coastal communities scholarship. For students from working coastal and fishing communities in the region, awarded on need and connection. Renewable across four years and includes a summer placement. First awards are being made for fall 2026 entry.
Federal and state aid. Standard programs, applied for through the usual channels.
Employment. On-campus work including field station and vessel support roles. Graduate students are commonly funded as teaching assistants.
Deadlines
The aid timeline runs ahead of the admission timeline. File your financial aid application by 1 February for fall entry, whether or not you have heard about admission.
Late applications are considered while funds remain, which in practice means the earlier the better.
Asking questions
The financial aid team answers questions through the admissions office. They will discuss your individual circumstances and produce an estimate before you commit.
Please talk to a person about your own situation. Aid is assessed individually and depends on circumstances this page cannot anticipate. Nothing here is an offer, an estimate for you specifically, or advice about what you can afford — for that, contact the aid team directly.
