Education is an investment of your time and money that has the potential to pay off in a big way. We are committed to providing you with a transparent, affordable education so you are never surprised with any unexpected expenses.
We start by offering eligible new students up to a $500 scholarship to get started. A Drury degree is likely more attainable than you think. Then we make sure you have the guidance you need to get all the scholarships, grants and financial aid you qualify for to help you the rest of the way.
We understand paying for your education may feel overwhelming. Financial aid is crucial for most students pursuing college education. Financial aid comes in many forms, including loans, grants and scholarships. Explore the different types of aid here.
Aid doesn’t always come in the form of loans though. It can sometimes be a grant, like the Pell Grant, which you don’t have to repay or scholarships from Drury or outside sources.
Though we know this process can seem daunting, our financial aid office is here to support you. Our mission is to assist students in securing the maximum financial aid available. If you have questions, need help, or would like to submit documents, please contact us.
The Financial Aid Office is located on the second floor of Bay Hall, on the main campus of Drury University. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the exception of holiday closures.

Costs are the same whether you take seated or online courses. This enables you to choose which learning method works best for you without having to watch all the dollars and cents.

As of Fall 2025, Drury GO was awarded a one year grant to establish a College Reconnect partnership to re-enroll and support Missouri students who previously started college but have yet to complete a degree or credential. This grant is to assist students whom face significate economic challenges, are ineligible for immediate federal aid due to academic standing, or have exhausted Pell Grant eligibility.
