3 - Prepare to Pay: Costs and Financial Aid
print icon

Ensure you have a strong grasp of the financial aspects of your program, including the following items:

  • Your Salary - Your salary will be in the offer from our school partner.
  • Out-of-Pocket Tuition - Relay programs are billed at $850 per credit.  Programs range from 18 to 39 credits.  What you will pay out-of-pocket depends on your program, partner, and awards and scholarships.  Your financial aid offer will be sent to you directly via email.
  • Certification Costs - This ranges by state, so make sure to look at the Certification Cost & Budgeting page.
  • Financial Aid Opportunities - Relay students are eligible for either the AmeriCorps award or a Residency scholarship to bring down the out-of-pocket tuition.  Beyond that, we highly recommend you fill out the FAFSA so you can use a federal loan if you need it.
  • External Scholarship Opportunities -  If you are seeking a scholarship, we encourage you to look for opportunities that exist for graduate students and educators.
  • General Budget for the Year - Check out the calculators and apps we’ve recommended on the Financing Your Education page.
