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

Received a lot of scholarships from the school so if you have the grades, you will get the aid.
Maryland student
it is a little expensive but it does offer many different scholarships to incoming students. but the best thing about Waynesburg are the people. they make coming worthwhile. while the education you get here is great the people are what make you stay. they're so warm, understanding and sincere and so eager to help it makes leaving home that much easier.
T'Ericka from Baltimore, MD
Since the classes are so small you get a lot of one on one time with professors. It's really awesome, plus a lot of the courses are more advanced then other schools.
Christena from Falling Waters, WV
Of course! It's small, private, and affordable. Yes a huge bang. Plus, I was awarded many scholarships from the university. You just have to keep inquiring and stay in the financial aid office. Sometimes you have to ask a lot of questions to get the bucks you need. Also, people in the local community give out scholarships to students. You may think your paying a lot going in, but with the time spent there it's really priceless. I have had so much fun and I just finished my freshman year. You just have to make the money stretch and the memories count.
Angelic from Philadelphia, PA
Waynesburg is inexpensive compared to many other schools.
