Adult & Professional Programs
Financial Aid
Federal aid, New York State grants, employer reimbursement, and military benefits can help you cover the cost of your degree.
Manhattan University is committed to making a degree achievable for adult learners and returning students, whether you are finishing what you started or beginning college for the first time. Aid pathways for Adult and Professional Programs include federal financial aid, New York State grants, employer tuition reimbursement, military and veteran benefits, and private loan options. Most students combine several of these sources to reduce out-of-pocket cost.
Put Your Employer Benefits to Work
Tuition Reimbursement Through Your Employer
Tuition reimbursement programs vary by employer, but most cover a set dollar amount or percentage of tuition each year in exchange for satisfactory grades or continued employment. To take advantage of your benefit, start by reviewing your company's education assistance policy, confirming eligibility for your program of study, and connecting with our financial aid office to coordinate documentation, billing timelines, and any deferred payment arrangements you may need. Many adult learners combine employer reimbursement with federal aid, scholarships, and payment plans to fully cover the cost of attendance.
