Potentially rising prices at Eastern University (MS in Data Science)

[AwardTour]

I was told by someone at Eastern University that the cost of their MS in Data Science program, "has the potential to increase after this academic year", but, "they do not anticipate a large increase".

I don't know if it is possible to "lock in" a price since they do not charge the full program price up-font. From what I understand, you have to pay at the beginning of every new 7 week term. Again, I am not sure if the price can be locked-in?

I will be using a Federal Student Loan to pay for my classes at the beginning. It sounds like I will need to resubmit FAFSA forms every 7 week term period? Is this right? 

Does anyone here have any experience using a federal student loan with Eastern University specific to one of their graduate programs?

You file a FAFSA once a year. It's good for the entire academic year.

With most schools, you cannot lock in pricing - unless they offer that specifically (some schools do give a "this price is set for 4 years" deals).

FAFSA is a once-a-year thing.

I see, thanks for the reply.

I see, thanks for responding. It is good to see you on this site still! Thank you again for helping me with my undergrad degree plan!

FAFSA is done once per year, like others have stated.
