Tuition Payment Options
Students are required to pay all tuition and fees at the beginning of each term, and registration is not complete until all fees are paid. Bethel University offers students six ways to pay their tuition.
Need-Based vs. Non-Need-Based
Each of these types of financial aid assistance is split into two categories: Need-Based and Non-Need-Based. The type of financial aid a student receives is figured by the cost of attendance and their Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by the student’s FAFSA.
Need-Based
- These loans are not available for graduate students.
Non-Need-Based
- Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans
- Federal Direct Grad Plus Loan Program
