TUTION AND FEES OVERVIEW
Erikson Institute Graduate School Tuition Information
Erikson’s mission is to educate and promote diverse leadership to serve the needs of all young children and their families.
The Board of Trustees at Erikson Institute annually sets the tuition and fees and typically announces them in March of each year for the following Fall, Spring, and Summer terms.
The actual cost of attendance may be less than you expect after you factor in funding awarded through grants, scholarships, loans and federal work-study programs. Your financial award may be different from others as it is determined by individual academic programs, and your scholarship and financial aid awards. Erikson’s admissions and financial aid advisors are here to answer your questions and get you started today.
