Hi all! I'm a rising junior with Otterbein on my list of colleges to apply for. I'm trying to plan out my finances ahead of time. Does anyone know what the tuition fee at Otterbein is currently? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Sure, I can help you with that. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition at Otterbein University is around $35,024 per year. However, this only includes the cost of tuition and does not take into account other fees such as housing, meals, and books.
The total cost of attendance, which includes tuition, room and board, books, and personal expenses, tends to be closer to $50,000 per year, though this can vary. These figures are estimates and may fluctuate a little every year, so you are advised to check the Otterbein University website for any changes.
Do remember that most students do not pay the full tuition price due to scholarships, grants, and other forms of financial aid. Depending on your family's financial situation and your own academic or athletic achievements, your net cost may be significantly lower than the sticker price.
It's also worth noting that applying for scholarships and financial aid can be a valuable way to help with these costs. Many students underestimate the amount of aid they can receive, so I highly recommend doing a deep dive into scholarship opportunities and ensure to complete the FAFSA to take advantage of federal aid.
Good luck with your college planning. It's really smart of you to think about finances this early.
