Stumbled upon Lipscomb University recently and it's looking pretty attractive. Just wondering if anyone knows what's the total cost per year including tuition, room and board, textbooks, etc.? Kind of in a budgeting crunch and all the help would be appreciated!
Sure, I can provide some information on that. The cost of attending Lipscomb University for the 2024-2025 academic year is as follows:
- Tuition and fees: Approximately $40,500
- Room and board: Around $15,400
So, that totals up to around $56,000 per academic year for tuition, fees, and room and board.
However, it's also important to factor in additional costs like textbooks, supplies, transportation, and other personal expenses. The cost of textbooks and supplies can vary greatly depending on your major, but a safe estimation might be around $1,200 per year. Personal expenses and transportation can also vary greatly from person to person, but you might estimate another $2,500 per year.
Therefore, a rough total estimate, including these additional expenses, would bring the total cost close to $60,000 per year.
Remember that this is the sticker price, and actual cost may be lower after subtracting financial aid packages which includes scholarships, grants and work-study opportunities. You may also want to take into account Lipscomb's commitment to making education accessible, so be sure to explore all available financial aid options — don't let just the listed price deter you.
