What makes Nexford so affordable?
Nexford University is a mission-driven organization established as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). This means while we’re for-profit, we prioritize public benefit over profit. Nexford only becomes profitable at scale, which means that we’ve designed our business model to sustain financial losses over a number of years in exchange for public benefit and long-term profits.
In addition to our mission, we’re affordable thanks to our customer-centric model, how efficiently we operate and how we leverage cutting-edge technology. Nexford was established to make exceptional higher education more accessible. You only pay for the time you’re enrolled at Nexford, not for each course you take. This means if you take two courses at a time you’ll pay the same fee you’d pay if you were taking just one –saving money. Finish your program faster, you’ll pay even less. And we won't slow you down. If you’re performing well and your grades are good, we encourage you to progress as quickly through your program as you can, depending on how you're doing. After all, we want you to succeed.
-
Will employers in my country recognize programs offered by Nexford University?
Nexford graduates are just as qualified as any traditional university degree holder, and they’re also likely to have more relevant competencies. The kind that modern employers urgently require. Our academic programs are designed based on industry and employment needs. We align with real employers to equip you with the skills to thrive in today’s workplace. For specifics on your market or if you'd like us to build a relationship with your employer please contact us at help@nexford.org.
-
Can I get financial aid?
We offer scholarships to help learners who are academically prepared for college but who lack the financial means to attend.
Read more about scholarships. Please note that you’ll need to meet the criteria and our admission requirements.
Our Admissions Team can also advise you on localized financial support. Contact us at help@nexford.org for more information.
-
Is there an application fee? How much does it cost?
Pay $20 application fee and join one of our globally affordable programs.
To see how much your program costs, check out our cost calculator, which factors in the time it takes to complete your courses. Remember, how fast you progress is up to you, and you pay a monthly flat fee each month.
-
If I take more than one course at a time, will I pay more?
Tuition isn’t structured on a per-credit hour or per-course basis, nor is it assessed according to the number of courses in which a learner enrolls. Nexford’s tuition follows a flat-fee model that allows learners to enroll in multiple courses without incurring per-course costs.
-
Does Nexford offer scholarships?
Yes, we do. Potential, talent and drive exist in every corner of the world. But right now, opportunity doesn’t. That’s why we’re making it easier for you to achieve your goals with Nexford scholarships.
Scholarships help learners who are academically prepared for college but who lack the financial means to attend.
Read more about scholarships. Please note that you’ll need to meet the criteria and our admission requirements.
-
What if I decide to quit working towards my program?
If you’ve had a change of plans and decided you want to discontinue your studies, we have a fair way of handling refunds. One of Nexford’s Success Advisors can answer any specific questions you have about refunds. Just email success@nexford.org.
-
Where can I go to get funding for my program?
Nexford University can’t directly help you finance your tuition, but we’ll support you where we can. Our Admissions Team will be happy to assist you in planning for your search for funding options. We’re unable to conduct this search for you, however. Ultimately, you’re responsible for securing the funds you need to pursue an education at Nexford.
We offer scholarships to help learners who are academically prepared for college but who lack the financial means to attend.

-
Are there any additional fees involved?
Nexford University wants your tuition fees to be as simple as possible. So, we reimagined the higher education billing model. We take a modern approach to tuition. Instead of charging you itemized course or credit hours in your program, we have a simplified tuition model. You only pay for the time enrolled with us in a flat fee, not per course. Pretty simple, right? Your tuition payments vary, depending on which country you’re from.
There are some additional, optional fees for certain services. These include requesting a printed diploma, printed transcripts, or notarized documents.
-
What if I need to take several months off from my studies?
We offer a very flexible leave policy. If you need to step away from Nexford for a while, your academic record will remain active for two years. It’s like hitting pause on your program. Speak to one of our Success Advisors as soon as possible to discuss your plans at success@nexford.org.
-
What payment method can I use?
You can pay monthly, in three or six month installments, whichever suits you!
We’ll let you know in advance when your tuition payment is due with an email alert. You’ll have the option of making the payment by one of the following methods: We accept all major debit and credit cards from customers in every country.
If you need an alternative payment method, contact us at help@nexford.org.
-
Do you have a physical campus?
Invest in your future, not in a campus. Having a Nexford campus would increase our costs and, therefore, we would need to raise your tuition. Our learners are our main concern. We keep our operating costs low by being a 100% online, next-generation university. This way, we don’t need to maintain expensive classroom buildings, a campus you don’t need, and other expensive add-ons.
As Fadl Al Tarzi, Nexford’s founder and CEO, says: “Imagine a world where students could opt out of utilizing or accessing expensive new campus facilities in exchange for a lower yearly tuition.” You don’t need to imagine any longer. That’s precisely what we’re doing!
-
What is the refund policy?
Details of Nexford’s refund and cancellation policy can be found here.
