I'm really interested in Biola University but I'm having a hard time finding specifics about tuition fees. Could anyone who is familiar with the school tell me what to expect?
Sure, I can help with that. Biola University's tuition for the 2024-2025 academic year is $48,984. This rate is for both in-state and out-of-state students as private universities generally do not differentiate tuition based on residency. Please note that this figure does not include other costs such as room and board, books, personal expenses, and transportation. These additional costs can potentially add around $15,000-$20,000 per year.
However, the "sticker price" might not be what you end up paying. Biola offers a range of financial aid options that could substantially decrease your actual cost. Aid can come in several forms including grants, scholarships, work-study programs, and loans. To obtain a personalized estimate of your potential financial aid, you can use Biola's Net Price Calculator, which takes into account factors such as your family's income, assets, and number of family members attending college.
Lastly, I highly encourage you to apply for external scholarships as well. Every little bit can significantly reduce the financial burden.
