Hey folks, I've been eyeing Ohio Wesleyan University (OWU), but I can't quite nail down what the tuition would be. Does anyone have experience with this school, or knows how much I should be expecting to pay yearly?
Ohio Wesleyan University, or OWU, is a private liberal arts university. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the cost of tuition and fees at OWU is approximately $53,264.
In addition to the cost of tuition, you'll also need to consider the costs of room and board, textbooks, and personal expenses. The estimated room and board cost at OWU for the 2024-2025 academic year is around $14,684. The estimated cost for books and supplies could range around $1,000 to $1,200, and personal expenses (which can include transport, personal hygiene, leisure activities, etc.) might add another $1,000 to $2,000 per academic year.
However, it's vital to remember that these are the sticker prices and may not be the amount you'll end up paying. Many students do receive financial aid to help offset the cost. To get a more accurate estimation of what you might be expected to pay after considering financial aid, I'd highly recommend you to make use of the Net Price Calculator available on OWU's financial aid webpage. This tool can provide you with a personalized estimate of the cost of attendance based on your family's financial situation.
Keep in mind, the financial aid application process typically involves completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), and possibly the CSS Profile, depending on the school's requirements.
Lastly, it's worthwhile to explore various scholarships (both merit and need-based) offered by OWU, as well as outside scholarships, as these can significantly bring down the overall cost.
