Anderson University is a private institution, so its published undergraduate tuition is the same for Indiana residents and students from other states. In the reported 2024-25 figures, full-time undergraduate tuition was $36,150 and required fees were $1,090.
The same cost figures list typical annual room charges of $7,200, board charges of $6,120, and books and supplies of $1,500. Together with tuition and required fees, those items total $52,060 for an illustrative residential year before transportation, personal spending, and any program-specific expenses. This is not a complete current-year bill or an individualized cost-of-attendance estimate. The reported part-time undergraduate tuition charge was $1,505 per credit hour; graduate charges follow a different schedule.
Published price is not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. The reported average net price was $21,044 for students from families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less and $29,375 for those from families above $110,000. Those averages do not predict an individual aid offer. Reported aid figures indicate that all students in the relevant undergraduate aid measure received some financial aid, while 58% had student loans; loans must generally be repaid.
Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Indiana aid, and university scholarships. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is central to determining eligibility for many need-based programs. Applicants should compare a current, itemized aid offer against the university's current cost-of-attendance budget, separating grants from loans and checking whether scholarships renew automatically or depend on GPA, enrollment level, or other conditions.
Anderson students can pursue part-time work alongside their studies, including campus positions when available. Federal Work-Study is a particular need-based financial aid program; it should not be confused with an ordinary campus job, an internship, or a grant paid directly toward the bill.
Work-Study eligibility is determined through the financial aid process, and an award does not by itself mean a student has been hired. Students generally must find a qualifying position, work scheduled hours, and receive wages for work performed. Those without a Work-Study award may still be eligible to apply for positions funded through other campus budgets. The financial aid office and campus employment postings are the appropriate places to check current eligibility, openings, pay, and application procedures.
For career-related experience, students can also use the university's reported career counseling, résumé assistance, job bank, fairs, and employer connections. Anderson does not report a university-wide internship requirement, so a student should check whether the intended major requires one and how any internship fits into the degree plan.
