Ensure you have a strong grasp of the financial aspects of your program, including the following items:
- Your Salary - Your salary will be in the offer from our school partner.
- Out-of-Pocket Tuition - Relay programs are billed at $850 per credit. Programs range from 18 to 39 credits. What you will pay out-of-pocket depends on your program, partner, and awards and scholarships. Your financial aid offer will be sent to you directly via email.
- Certification Costs - This ranges by state, so make sure to look at the Certification Cost & Budgeting page.
- Financial Aid Opportunities - Relay students are eligible for either the AmeriCorps award or a Residency scholarship to bring down the out-of-pocket tuition. Beyond that, we highly recommend you fill out the FAFSA so you can use a federal loan if you need it.
- External Scholarship Opportunities - If you are seeking a scholarship, we encourage you to look for opportunities that exist for graduate students and educators.
- General Budget for the Year - Check out the calculators and apps we’ve recommended on the Financing Your Education page.
