Tuition & Aid

Tuition & Aid

A private college education may be more affordable than you think! Tuition at Corban University is $37,172 for full-time (12-18 credits) traditional undergraduate students in the 2024-25 school year. With room, board, activities, and required fees combined, total cost of attendance is $50,364 before financial aid. But don’t get stuck on the sticker price! This cost is not what most students pay. Every new student will receive at least an $9,000 academic scholarship and may be eligible for other scholarships and grants.

Compared to public universities, private universities offer more financial aid, including three times the amount of institutional grants. In fact, we give away over $15 million in Corban scholarships and grants each year! Plus, 88% of Corban graduates earn their degree in just four years (compared to 60% at state schools), so you can graduate on time, save on tuition, and get started on your career.

  3. Submit your FAFSA – Many state and federal grants are awarded “first-come, first-served,” so be sure to fill out the FAFSA as soon as possible after December 1. The FAFSA will help determine state and federal grants as well as federal loans. In addition, Corban uses the FAFSA to help determine the awarding of Corban grants.
  4. Apply for Outside Scholarships – Hundreds of Corban students have received additional funds from private scholarships.

Begin by searching for scholarships awarded at the local, state, and regional level, including those awarded based on special hobbies, interests, life circumstances, or affiliations. The fewer people who qualify for a given scholarship, the better your chances!

Last year, students earned $816,000 in outside scholarships!
