About this number: Applicants admitted
Admission offers divided by applications for the reported pool. Applicant characteristics and campus scope vary; this does not predict an individual decision.

Costs & financial aid
Compare the year and population before comparing prices. Published budgets, group averages and your actual aid offer are different.

About this budget
- The school labels these figures 2026–27.
- Source: Estimated Cost of Attendance for Undergraduate Students 2026-2027 (Adelphi One Stop) (Adelphi University). Researched October 21, 2026; independently audited October 22, 2026.
Research notes: Full-time. Costs adjust if housing or enrollment changes. Billed subtotal shown is the page "Sub-Total Direct Costs" (includes books).
Understand the five kinds of college costs
- Tuition & fees
- Instruction and required college fees; living costs are additional unless explicitly included.
- Attendance budget
- College charges plus estimated living, books, travel and other included expenses, before aid.
- Average annual cost after grants & scholarships
- A historical average after federal, state/local and college grant aid for a specified federal-aid population. Outside private scholarships are not automatically deducted; loans and work-study are not discounts.
- Your net cost
- Your entered attendance cost minus selected grants and scholarships. Loans and work-study remain funding sources.
- Borrowing
- Debt to repay, not a discount. Work-study is earned over time, not an upfront bill reduction.
Average annual cost after grants & scholarships
$26,646
2024–25
Includes applicable federal, state/local and college grants and scholarships. First-time, full-time students receiving federal financial aid form the reporting population. The attendance budget includes estimated living expenses. Your actual cost may differ.
About this number: Average annual cost after grants & scholarships
Federal average net price: average attendance cost (tuition, fees, books, supplies and living expenses) minus qualifying federal, state/local and institutional grants and scholarships for this population. Federal aid defines the reporting population, not the only aid deducted; some included students receive federal loans or work-study but no grants. This is a historical average, not a personalized award. Outside private scholarships are not automatically deducted. Loans and work-study are not subtracted. This is not tuition alone, an individual award, a guaranteed price or necessarily a college bill.
