Information in this section is approximate. Exact costs and detailed financial aid information will be provided in acceptance letters. There are two costs for attending NELP:
- The NELP program fee--which covers room & board, textbooks, and transportation to, from and during the program--is expected to be $2,500 for NELP 2025.
- Spring half-term U-M tuition rates are set by the University. These have not been announced officially for 2025 yet, but in 2024 they were:
In-state:
$4,224 for students with under 55 credits
$4,765 for students with at least 55 credits
Out-of-state:
$14,435 for students with under 55 credits
$15,453 for students with at least 55 credits
Students who would qualify for U-M financial aid during a Spring half-term on campus will most likely qualify for a similar financial aid package when participating in NELP. NELP also offers some jobs for people with work-study awards. Financial aid applications for the Spring half-term will be available from the Office of Financial Aid around the first of February, and the deadline for these applications is usually in March.
NELP alumni have provided some funds for separate NELP scholarships and loans. Details about applying for these smaller awards can be found in the NELP Application.
