Affording Naropa

Do you hunger for an education that is personalized, challenging, and hands-on? One where your professors value intellectual growth, compassion, and personal transformation?

This is Naropa University's mission as a contemplative, liberal arts university: to offer a rigorous, personalized, and transformational education. But as a private university, we are also mindful of fulfilling our mission of inclusiveness, including economic inclusiveness.

Our generous scholarship and financial aid packages make it possible for a diverse range of students to attend Naropa. In fact more than 79% of our graduate students and 70% of our undergraduates receive some kind of financial assistance.

It is possible to afford Naropa. Here's how you begin:

  • Apply to Naropa.
  • Submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon after Jan. 1 of the year you plan to attend as possible. Financial aid is typically awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. (Naropa's school code is 014652).
  • Research Naropa scholarships and submit extra materials should the scholarship require it.
  • Contact us at finaid@naropa.edu with your questions.
