Admission & Financial Aid at Elton University
The first half of Elton University's mission is to create the absolute best higher educational experience for our students. The other half of our mission is to make that experience accessible and affordable to all who want it. That means making our fees affordable, and providing generous financial aid and opportunities to work while studying.
Even without financial aid, studying at Elton costs less than the average in-state tuition at a public university.
Elton provides significant need-based financial aid. Discuss how to qualify with your admissions officer or answer the four financial aid questions when you apply.

Whereas other colleges represent a huge risk to you both in terms of time and money, we have deliberately designed Elton to be something we hope anyone can access and afford.
Risk-Free Trial Month
We want to give you zero risk to try Elton. When you enroll at Elton, you pay your first month's tuition as a deposit. If, after a month, you or Elton decides you are not a fit for the program, you will receive a full refund. This makes it possible for you to start learning and earning credit right away without taking any financial risk.
Start Any Time
Traditional colleges only let you start in September or January. At Elton you can start immediately upon enrolling. Then, each quarter we have a Commencement event where everyone who started during the previous three months officially forms a "cohort" or class of students together — but by then they've already begun learning and succeeding.
Live Anywhere in the World
Elton allows its students to live and travel anywhere in the US or the world. This enables students to live where there is a low cost of living or travel abroad all while earning a globally-recognized bachelor's degree. You can even earn credit planning and executing a trip abroad.
Activity Fund
Traditional colleges nickel and dime you with additional fees. Elton is the opposite. Not only does Elton charge you no additional fees, Elton provides each student with a small fund each month that Elton will pay for books and materials that you need to succeed. Need a book? Need tuition for an external class? Need some art supplies? Your activity fund can cover it.
Generous Financial Aid & Transfer Credit
Elton provides need-based financial aid to 90% of students. And, whereas traditional colleges try to give you as few transfer credits as possible so they can charge you to earn those credits again with them, Elton does exactly the opposite. Elton has a strict, but generous, standard for transfer credits that will accelerate you towards your degree and towards a successful outcome.
Stacking Credentials
If you leave a traditional college after a few years what do you get? Nothing but debt. At Elton you earn credentials that stack towards your final degree. That means if you leave, you take the highest credential you've earned so far.
