Estimating Actual Cost

Sticker price rarely tells the whole story. Using our , you can get a better sense of how much you — personally — can earn in merit scholarships, as well as what grants and loans you are eligible for. The net price calculator doesn’t include additional talent or special interest awards. You’ll get your full financial aid package after you have been accepted to ��ɳ�� and completed your FAFSA.

Understanding Sticker Price

��ɳ��’s full sticker price includes tuition, room and board — before any financial aid or scholarships. At a glance, it looks like this. For more detail, you can see a breakdown of estimated direct and indirect costs for one year in our undergraduate programs. While sticker price reflects the full cost of attendance at ��ɳ��, it rarely represents the reality for students and families. Financial aid, including federal assistance, ��ɳ�� merit awards, and donor-funded scholarships, create significant savings.

2025-2026 Estimated Expenses
Tuition & Fees	$58,348
Room & Board	$16,272
Total Direct Cost	$77,542

How to Qualify for Financial Aid

Step 1: Complete your FAFSA.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is what makes you eligible for financial aid through the government and through ��ɳ��. Complete it as soon as possible. (In a typical year, the FAFSA opens Oct. 1 for the following academic year. Due to changes at the federal level, the application opening has recently been delayed.)

Step 2: Apply to ��ɳ��.

The earlier you apply and are admitted, the earlier you will see your financial aid package.

Step 3: Apply for talent awards.

Many of our scholarships are automatically awarded based on your college application, but a few require additional applications. Apply between Nov. 1 and March 1.

Step 4: Review your financial aid offer.

Financial aid offers are typically available in early February. Due to federal changes with the FAFSA process, these awards may be slightly delayed. We are committed to getting your aid offer to you as fast as possible.

Step 5: Reserve your spot at ��ɳ��.

Submit your enrollment deposit to hold your spot at ��ɳ�� in the fall.
