Neumann University has launched the Neumann Tuition Promise to make higher education more affordable for eligible Pennsylvania families.

The Tuition Promise guarantees that domestic first-year undergraduate students who reside in Pennsylvania and who are eligible for Federal Pell Grants and Pennsylvania State Grants can attend Neumann University tuition-free if they meet certain criteria.

Pell Grants are awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The FAFSA is also used to assess eligibility for state grants.

Other criteria include a high school GPA of at least 3.5 and a commitment to live on campus at Neumann during fall and spring semesters. Room and board costs are not covered by the Tuition Promise.

Students can receive this tuition benefit for up to eight semesters as long as they are enrolled at Neumann full-time. Summer terms are not included.

“With the Neumann Tuition Promise, eligible Pennsylvania families can access a quality education without the burden of rising costs,” says Francesca Reed, vice president for enrollment management and marketing. “This free college tuition program ensures that talented students from across the state can achieve their academic and career goals with fewer financial barriers.”

To qualify for the Neumann Tuition Promise for the fall of 2025, students must apply for admission to Neumann and list the university on the FAFSA by April 1, 2025.

According to President Chris Domes, “Neumann University is dedicated to making higher education accessible and affordable, reflecting our Catholic Franciscan tradition that knowledge is a gift to be shared in the service of others. We believe in supporting every student’s potential, empowering them to make a meaningful impact on the world.”
