Tuition and Cost
A Pace Education is Affordable
Pace is more affordable than you think—it may even be as affordable as some state schools. Financial assistance can come from many places, including scholarships, grants, on-campus employment, and loans. Pace values strong academic performance by offering a wealth of merit-based scholarships to high achieving students. University-sponsored scholarships are also awarded to students on the basis of financial need and service to the community.
