How Much Does Olivet Really Cost

Breakdown

The 2024-2025 Olivet Full Price is $49,990. Here’s the breakdown: $37,910 tuition, $990 general fee and $11,090 for housing & food. However, that’s not a price any student pays. All students receive aid from Olivet and other sources. Here’s how it works…

Scholarships

First, we subtract your merit-based scholarships up to $26,000* from the full price.

That leaves $23,990!

*Some students may not qualify for the full $26,000

Grants

Next, we add in grants. That’s a minimum of $1,000* simply by visiting ONU. That brings the new total to around $22,990 or less!

*Most students receive significantly more in grants

Loans

Then, we subtract $5,500* for all first-year students! That brings the actual cost of Olivet Nazarene University to around $17,490!

*Loans are optional

Every Student is Different. Here Are Three Student Financial Packages.

If you choose to take out any family or private student loans, your out-of-pocket expenses are even less.
