Costs of Attendance

Tuition.  Tuition is $4150 for 2008 (this includes a $24 technology fee). The Institute may be taken for six quarter hours of graduate credit.

Housing. Publishing Institute students will be housed in double occupancy rooms in campus residence halls within easy walking distance of the lecture hall. Four students occupy a two-bedroom suite and share a common kitchen and bath at a cost of approximately $1000 per student, double occupancy. Those opting to cook in their suites must provide their own cooking and dining utensils

Meals. Due to the intensive nature of the program and to allow more interaction with the faculty, students are encouraged to eat lunch in the campus cafeteria.  Additional opportunities to network with faculty and staff occur at picnic dinners and special events throughout the Institute.  A weekday luncheon plan is available for approximately $175. The special events fee will be approximately $175.

Also available to students is a coffee-and-snack bar, located on campus and open for breakfast. For weekend dining, there are restaurants and grocers within walking distance of the campus. A weekday three-meal-a-day plan is also available which encompasses the luncheon plan for approximately $450.

Financial Aid. Due to the short length of this course, federally-funded financial aid is not available for the Publishing Institute through the University of Denver. You might investigate private loans for help with tuition costs; our students have had success with obtaining loans from their local banks. Please note that you will need to apply for a direct-to-consumer loan. These loans disburse directly to you and do not need school certification.

Chase offers a direct-to-consumer loan called the Chase Private Student Loan. Learn more about this loan through their website at http://www.collegeloansite.com/chase-student-loans/non-traditional-students.aspx or by calling 1-866-471-0415. Sallie Mae offers a Tuition Answer Loan. You can find out about it at http://www.tuitionanswer.com

 The Publishing Institute does have an extremely modest scholarship fund from which to award financial aid. The awards are made on the basis of financial need to students accepted to the program and usually cover only a portion of tuition.

To be considered for a scholarship, please include with your completed application a statement of financial need, along with any supporting documents you feel will best illustrate your particular circumstances. Our scholarship recipients will be selected in early April. The notification will be made simultaneously with the letter announcing acceptance. Please note that applications meeting the early admission deadline will not be reviewed for financial aid until after April 1. 

Also, through the generosity of the Professional/ Scholarly Publishing (PSP) Division of the Association of American Publishers, we are pleased to offer an additional scholarship.  This funding is a part of the PSP Division's Annual Scholarship program.  All scholarship recipients will be selected in early April. The notification will be made simultaneously with the letter announcing acceptance.
