Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

Tuition
In-State Tuition In-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who meet the state's or institution's residency requirements. In-district tuition is the tuition charged by the institution to those students residing in the locality in which they attend school and may be a lower rate than in-state tuition if offered by the institution.
$36,464

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

It's a lot of money to go here, and yeah, we sometimes joke about where our money's really going, but in the long run, it's worth it for all the learning we'll do both in and out of the classroom.
Angelique
Eastern is a great school and has been called, one of the best Christian College educations money can buy.
Andrew from Milford, DE
This school is very reasonably priced for everything it offers!
Leta from Herkimer, NY
The tuition price is great! I'm paying so much less than my friends and I'm getting the same education, if not better in some cases!
Katelyn from Pottstown, PA
I'm not real sure about this one. College is expensive and so is this one. However I'm hopeful that I will be able to acquire helpful scholarships and have already received one from the school. I also expect that small classroom sizes with more one on one learning opportunity will be highly beneficial. 99 percent of students receive financial aid.
Grant from Salem, OR
It is very pricey to come here, but it is such a great university that it is worth it!
