Affording a °µÍøTV Education
The price you see isn’t necessarily the price you’ll pay.
WHY A PRIVATE COLLEGE COSTS LESS THAN YOU THINK
°µÍøTV can actually cost less — and will deliver more.
Many families are surprised to discover that after scholarships, grants and financial aid, a °µÍøTV education can cost the same as — or even less than — a major public university.
We believe opportunity shouldn’t be limited by sticker price.
It Starts with A Generous Offer
Every admitted student is guaranteed financial aid through merit scholarships, need-based assistance, or both. 
The average first-year student receives $55,695 in scholarships and grants that doesn’t have to be repaid. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
 &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
That commitment has earned national recognition. Forbes ranks °µÍøTV among the Top 25 private universities in the nation for generous financial aid. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
See your real cost
The published tuition isn’t what most families pay.
Your actual cost depends on scholarships and grants, and your family’s financial circumstances.

Private doesn’t always cost more
The best value isn’t always the school with the lowest published tuition — it’s the one that delivers the greatest return on your investment.
Compared to Penn State, °µÍøTV’s average annual net cost is about $4,000 less*
But lower cost is only part of the value.
At °µÍøTV your investment also includes small classes taught by professors — not teaching assistants — personalized advising, reliable access to the courses you need and a clear path to graduating in four years.
