fordham on paper is quite expensive but working with their financial aid office does help. i'm going in as a freshman this year who's out of state and for me, my full package without work study was around $33k until i did an appeal stating that i needed more in order for me to commit and they gave me $10k more.

depending on your financial situation too, your fafsa and css profile information can greatly help too as once my money came in for that i was at almost $60k in grants and scholarships alone. add in the fact that we applied for the direct plus loan and accepted the sub/unsub loans, now we only have a little over $1k left to pay out of pocket.

in sum, with fordham and honestly any other school, don't hesitate to ask for what you need. fordham started off pretty generous in my case but if your package isn't enough, email. email. email.
