About this budget
- The school labels these figures 2026–27.
- Read from the school’s PDF as text. The numbers matched, but the PDF layout was not visually inspected.
- Source: Newark In-State Full-Time Undergraduate COA 2026-2027 (Rutgers Scarlet Hub PDF) (Rutgers University Office of Financial Aid). Researched October 21, 2026; independently audited October 22, 2026.

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 · in-state
$16,013
2024–25
Includes applicable federal, state/local and college grants and scholarships. First-time, full-time in-state 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 · in-state
Federal average net price subtracts qualifying federal, state/local and institutional grants and scholarships from the source-defined attendance budget. 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. The public-college population pays in-state tuition. It is not a personal offer; loans and work-study are not discounts.

Conditional requirements
Rutgers-Newark is test-blind for most first-year applicants, but students applying to the 7-year BA/MD joint-degree program must submit an SAT or ACT score.
This is what the college’s page says today. Exact entry-year policy not verified. It may not apply to the year you choose.
Conditions to check
- Required for applicants to the Rutgers-Newark 7-year BA/MD joint-degree program.
- Rutgers states its test-optional/test-blind policies run 'through 2027'; policy after that is not stated.
- English proficiency test required for applicants schooled outside the U.S. where English is not the principal language (separate from SAT/ACT).
If you submit scores
- All SAT/ACT scores must be sent directly from the testing agency; unofficial scores not accepted (SAT code 2765, ACT code 2592).
Official source checked 2026-11-05. Policies can change.
Different applicant situation?
SAT/ACT and English proficiency are different requirements. Program, recruitment and scholarship rules may need separate confirmation.
Sources & research
Institutional Common Data Sets and federal statistics have different reporting periods and populations. Research snapshot: October 16–19, 2026. Missing values can reflect nonreporting, conflict, ambiguity or incomplete review; they are never zero. Four-year earnings for colleges are withheld because of a documented October 15, 2026 correction to the federal source.
