Arcadia Financial Aid Calculator
Want to find out what your financial aid from Arcadia University might be? Use the Arcadia University Financial Aid Calculator to get a quick estimate of your financial aid eligibility, as well as an estimate of your federal expected family contribution (EFC) so you can determine your true out-of-pocket costs if you attend.

Please keep in mind
The calculator only provides an estimate of your Federal Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is not necessarily what your out-of-pocket cost will be. The Arcadia Financial Aid Office is the final authority on your exact EFC. Arcadia uses the information from your official FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to calculate your EFC and prepare your official aid package.
Please note, results of the on-line calculator are based on scholarship amounts and packaging formulas in place for the fall 2010 and spring 2011 entering classes. Those students entering fall 2011 and beyond, while welcome to utilize the tool, should note that awards could potentially increase as scholarship amounts and formulas change each year.
Because merit aid/scholarships are based on self-reported academic information, the calculator will only provide an estimate of your eligibility for scholarships. The Arcadia Scholarship Committee makes the official determination of scholarships after acceptance, weighing factors like school competitiveness, courseload, types of courses taken (Honors, AP, etc.), along with overall grades/cumulative GPA, standardized test scores (for freshmen), rank (if available), and overall involvement.
The EFC and estimated aid calculation provided are only as reliable as the data you enter. Information from your 2008 federal tax return (or most recent return available) is required. If you did not file a tax return, information on other sources of income for the 2008 calendar year will be required.
Special circumstances (reduction in income, etc.) are treated on a case-by-case basis. This information should be communicated directly to the Arcadia Financial Aid Office at the time you
officially apply for financial aid.
This software is intended to estimate a family contribution for U.S. Citizens and permanent residents. It does not apply to Canadian or other international students.
COMPATIBILITY: This program has been optimized for Windows PC’s using Internet Explorer, and Macs using Safari, but most other computer / browser combinations will yield good results.
