Tuition & Financial Aid

There’s no better way to invest in yourself—and your career—than your education, and the value you receive is lifelong.

At Queens University of Charlotte we provide transparency about our tuition rates to help you make the best decisions about how to prepare to invest in your future.

Consider Your Financial Aid Options

We’re here to help you find out how much you can expect to pay for your education and craft the best financial aid package possible.

Below, explore just a few of your options for financing your education.

FAFSA

Your first step is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) using Queens’ FAFSA code: 002957. This free application will determine if you’re eligible for need-based grants, scholarships, and student-loan programs.

Military Benefits

We appreciate the immense value of experience gained through serving your country. As a degree-granting Yellow Ribbon Institution, we offer a variety of benefits to our active-service and veteran military students, as well as their spouses and dependents.

Scholarships

We recommend applying for merit-, need-, and talent-based scholarships and grants, including those offered by businesses, civic groups, foundations, churches, and more.

Alumni Discount

If you’re a Queens alum, you may be eligible for a tuition discount in our online graduate programs. Speak with a program manager for more information.

Apply for Employer Tuition Reimbursement

In 2019, 52 percent of employers offered reimbursement for upskilling or reskilling programs, while 69 percent covered most or all of their employees’ tuition costs.1

Ask your HR department or manager if your employer reimburses tuition and add even more value to your company with a new degree.

4 Ways an Online Degree Benefits You and Your Employer

The below list may be useful as you speak with your employer about tuition reimbursement.

1. YOU’LL BECOME A MORE EFFECTIVE EMPLOYEE

As you learn online with Queens, you’ll bring your new skills and insights to work with you starting right away. You don’t have to wait until you graduate to become even more effective team member.

2. IT MAKES FINANCIAL SENSE

Contributing to your education also saves your employer money over interviewing, hiring, and training someone else. And, the IRS reimburses companies up to $5,250 per employee per year for educational expenses.

3. YOU CAN STUDY ON YOUR SCHEDULE

Studying online gives you greater flexibility so you can continue to work while you pursue your studies.

4. YOUR EMPLOYER RETAINS TOP TALENT

Recent research found that employees who had their tuition reimbursed were 8 percent more likely to be retained, while another found those employees were 21 percent more likely to be promoted.2

In short, tuition reimbursement is a benefit that keeps great people around, and it could go a long way toward supporting your academic journey with Queens.
