Yes, as per Maurice J. and Carolyn Dursi Cunniffe Presidential Scholarship, the full tuition cost (fee not included) for courses taken as a traditional undergraduate student at Fordham University is covered. The scholarship is adjusted for only one-half of other non-tuition specific outside resources or scholarships. The remaining half of the scholarship may be used for additional educational expenses. The scholarship also covers the average cost of a double room or actual charges, whichever is less (excluding meal plans and fees), in case a student lives on-campus.
