Financial Aid and Billing Timeline

To help you prepare for financial planning, below is a timeline of when you can expect to receive your financial aid package (if applicable) and when you will be billed for the first two semesters.

Financial aid

A financial aid package is the total amount of financial aid — federal and nonfederal — a student is offered. The school's financial aid staff combines various forms of aid into a "package" to help meet a student's education costs. The packaging dates below are estimates as the timing may change depending on when you file your FAFSA.

2-Year and 3-Year Summer Start students must submit two FAFSAs — one for the current academic year 2024-25 for summer 2025 federal aid, and one for the upcoming academic year 2025-26 for federal aid beginning in the fall 2025. The financial aid package will be based on 2024-25 tuition rate until the new rate is confirmed in spring 2025. If you have used your 2024-25 FAFSA for undergraduate aid, please update the FAFSA to Graduate Student.

Billing

JD students are billed a flat tuition rate. Global JD and LLM students are billed per credit. Tuition for 2024-25 is $27,600 per semester. Tuition for 2024-25 will be approved by the Drexel Board of Trustees in spring 2025 and will be added to this page as soon as it is available.
