Understanding Your Financial Aid Offer

Find everything you need to know about financing your graduate education in our 2024-25 aid offer guides:

Your DU financial aid offer will include information about estimated costs, the types of aid offered to you, and what you can expect to pay out of pocket for the academic year. We do not assume all students will take classes in the summer, so unless otherwise listed, your initial offer may not include costs or aid for the summer quarter (a separate application for summer aid is available in the spring).
