The BGSU Falcon Tuition Guarantee locks in the cost for each incoming undergraduate class. Low fees, financial aid, student employment opportunities and payment plans combine to make the ultimate educational experience an affordable one.

We do realize that an aviation education is expensive. Aviation students, especially our students specializing in Flight Technology & Operations, are highly encouraged to apply for all financial assistance available. Scholarships, grants and/or financial aid allotments can be used by the student to meet the cost of a flight education.
