Admissions
Scholarships and Funding
Private Scholarships
As an online college that accepts financial aid, this includes scholarships and grants that are offered by private sources — such as fraternal and religious organizations, labor unions, professional associations, social groups, and ethnic associations. Because they are private and therefore not administered by Stevenson, you will need to research and apply for them on your own. The best place to start your research is your local church or synagogue, or a local club such as the Lions or Kiwanis. In addition, various publications contain private resource information; they can be found in your local library or bookstore.
Report Your Private Funding
When applying for financial aid for your online degree, any outside funding you receive must be taken into account when your eligibility is determined for need-based financial aid, such as the Direct Student Loan program. If you have been offered funding from a source outside the University, you should notify the Financial Aid Office of the amount and of the donor.
Federal Loans
A part of your financial aid award may be a loan from the Federal Direct Student Loan Program. A loan must be repaid. Therefore, when deciding whether to borrow, you should examine your need for assistance and your future ability to repay. Generally, you will have from 10 to 25 years to repay your loan, depending on the repayment plan you choose. Your monthly payment amount will be based on how much you borrowed and how long you take to repay. Direct Loans have a fixed interest rate that differs depending on the loan type. The terms and conditions of all loans are explained in the Master Promissory Note which all borrowers must complete and sign.
Alternative/Private Education Loan
Alternative Student Loans, also commonly referred to as Private Education Loans, are consumer loans offered by banks, credit unions, and other private lenders to cover the cost of college not covered by financial aid for online degrees.
Before applying for an Alternative Student Loan, the student and parent of a dependent student should compare the terms of the loan with loan assistance available through the Federal Direct Student Loan and Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan Programs. Most Alternative Student Loan Programs are not competitive with the Federal Loan Programs and are only intended to provide supplemental education financing after all federal options are exhausted.

Rankings
Stevenson University Recognized as a “Best Value School” in the 2025 U.S. News Rankings Stevenson University has been named among the nation’s “Best Value Schools” by U.S. News and World Report. The 2025 Best Colleges listings, released today, September 24, rank Stevenson among the “Best Value Schools - Regional Universities (North)” and “Best Colleges for Veterans.” According to U.S. News and World Report, the publication awards colleges and universities a “Best Value” designation by examining several ranking factors, including academic quality relative to the average price paid by full-time undergraduates after receiving need-based grants and aid. Only schools ranked in or near the top half of their categories are included because U.S. News considers the most significant values to be among colleges that are above average academically. “At Stevenson, we are committed to providing our students with an exceptional education and supportive community that prepares them for career success,” said Elliot Hirshman, President of Stevenson University. “We are pleased U.S. News has recognized the value of a Stevenson education and named our university a Best Value School.” Founded in 1947, Stevenson University serves more than 3,700 students—including undergraduate, graduate, professional, and doctoral students—on campus and online. A Stevenson education connects students to their career aspirations through exceptional experiences in and out of the classroom. From participating in Service, Leadership, and Honors programs; collaborating on real-world design and communication projects in The Mill Agency—the student-run advertising agency; or designing and engineering new ideas into reality in the Kahlert Foundation Makerspace Innovation and Biomedical Engineering labs, Stevenson students have numerous opportunities to engage in experiential learning and chart their professional futures. This approach has produced very positive results. Annual post-graduation surveys regularly show that more than 92 percent of Stevenson alumni are working or attending graduate or professional school within six months of graduation.
