1. Before you apply

   The net price calculator lets you estimate your financial aid award and see that a Bethel education is within reach. With straightforward, transparent tuition—free of inflated figures—you’ll have a clear starting point.

2. Apply for aid

   Get started on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Completing the FAFSA is a key step in unlocking need-based aid, including opportunities like the Bethel Promise Grant, which can lower tuition for qualifying Minnesota students​.

3. After you're offered financial aid

   Once you receive your financial aid offer, you’ll find that Bethel provides a clear path to understanding your costs—your price, scholarships, and need-based aid all come together to help you make an informed decision.

4. Maintaining your eligibility

   To continue receiving financial aid, you’ll need to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards. But you won't do it alone. Bethel provides resources like academic advising, tutoring, and more to help you stay on track.
