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.

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

When you pay tuition you expect to go to class and gain at degree. When you apply and go to Mount Vernon Nazarene University you are doing so much more than gaining a degree. At Mount Vernon you are gaining a wonderful life experience and you are making friends that become like family. Getting a degree may be an ultimate goal but it's important to enjoy the trip and at Mount Vernon you will.
Tiffany from Vermilion, OH
Although I had the opportunity to have a full ride to a state school, I still chose to attend MVNU, and there has not been one second that I have regretted that decision. The growth I've made both spiritually and academically, as well as the friends that I've met and the experiences I've had there, make MVNU worth every last penny to me.
Sara from Lancaster, OH
I believe that students at MVNU receive beyond how much they pay to attend. Students are obtaining a high quality education, and still enjoy attending Mount Vernon. Although, the cost is not cheap, I believe students are completely satisfied in the end.
Brandi
With all the benefits that I will gain from being at Mount Vernon, such as the small class sizes, Christian environment, and faculty that truly cares about the students, I think that it's truly worth the price of admission. Additionally, the financial aid office works hard to make sure you get the money you need.
