Exact Figures for Xavier's Tuition - Anyone?

Hi folks, Xavier is on my potential colleges list and I’m curious about the real cost of tuition. Websites can be confusing with all the additional fees they include, so I'm trying to get a straight answer. Does anyone have an idea? Also, any info about financial aid availability would be sweet!

Hello! Xavier University's current annual tuition rate for the 2024-2025 academic year is approximately $50,410. It's important to note that this figure only covers tuition and does not include additional expenses such as room and board, books, personal expenses, or any possible mandatory fees (like a technology or campus activities fee). Often when colleges display a comprehensive cost, it's an estimated cost of attendance that includes those various elements.

In terms of financial aid, Xavier is known for offering generous support to students based on both need and merit. Around 99% of students receive aid in some form. For starters, they offer merit-based scholarships that are automatically considered when you apply, ranging in value but potentially covering a significant portion of tuition.

They also offer need-based financial aid. If you qualify for this, the package you receive could include grants, loans, and potentially work-study opportunities. To access need-based aid, you'll need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your family's Expected Family Contribution (now known as the Student Aid Index - SAI). The completed FAFSA will give Xavier the necessary information to create your individualized aid package.

Remember, all colleges will vary in the specifics of their financial aid offerings, but hopefully that gives you a picture of how Xavier approaches it. If you're interested, I'd recommend reaching out to Xavier's Financial Aid Office for the most accurate and up-to-date information tailored to your situation. They can provide a more detailed breakdown of costs and the financial aid process.
