Welcome to Peabody’s Net Price Calculator. Award estimates are based on the data inputs from the user. All figures represented in the net price calculator serve as approximations only and should not be considered as guaranteed funding. Estimated aid is based on the assumption that a student meets all eligibility criteria including meeting Peabody’s priority deadlines for the CSS Profile and FAFSA. Actual awarding of financial assistance may differ. Students who expect to enroll in the Peabody/JHU Double Degree Program will not receive financial aid from Peabody and should not use this calculator. Instead please use the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences/Whiting School of Engineering Net Price Calculator.
Our Financial Aid advisors are here to guide you through the process from beginning to end. We can answer questions, provide assistance with your application, and walk you through the types of financial aid available.
Peabody gives careful consideration to financial aid packages for admitted students based on the strength of the application, the audition, the interview, and the unmet need presented on the student’s FAFSA/CSS Profile. If there are additional circumstances that you would like Peabody to consider due to affordability concerns, contact the Financial Aid Office for more information. Additionally, students can review the Request for Aid Reconsideration list of most common circumstances and recommended supporting documentation.
