Hi folks, I've been thinking about applying to Elon University, but I'm not entirely sure about the cost. How much does it generally cost to attend, including stuff like dorms, food, and supplies? Also, are there any scholarships available that I should definitely apply for? Thanks in advance!
Elon University's cost of attendance varies slightly each year, but to give you a ballpark estimate, for the 2024-2025 school year, the university's estimated cost of attendance is around $63,242. This figure includes tuition, fees, room and board, books and supplies, personal expenses, and transportation costs.
The tuition and mandatory fees constitute approximately $46,958, room and board around $16,284, and the rest accounts for books, supplies, personal expenses, and transportation. Please note these figures are estimations and your personal costs may vary.
With respect to financial aid, Elon University offers a variety of scholarships you might consider. The Presidential Scholarship worth $7,500 to $10,000/year is one worth mentioning. Academic scholarships are also available like the Elon Engagement Scholarship worth $5,000 a year. You're automatically considered for these scholarships when you apply for admission, so there's no separate application needed for these.
Elon University also practices need-based financial aid. You can estimate your financial aid package using Elon's Net Price Calculator. Also, remember to submit your FAFSA form as early as October to maximize your financial aid opportunities.
Lastly, keep in mind that you also have the option of outside or private scholarships. These can be a helpful way to lessen the financial burden and can often be stacked with the scholarships offered by the school. Good luck with your application!
