What is the cost of studying for a year at Cedarville University?

Cedarville charges the same reported undergraduate tuition to in-state and out-of-state students. For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $36,950, with $200 in required fees. The figures below describe published charges and typical expenses, not an individual financial-aid offer.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $36,950.
  • Required undergraduate fees: $200.
  • Typical annual room and board: $10,084.
  • Typical books and supplies: $1,612.

Adding those reported amounts produces about $48,846 for tuition, required fees, room and board, and books and supplies. Transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges would increase a student's full cost of attendance. Students living off campus may face a different housing and food budget; they should not simply subtract the listed room-and-board amount without estimating those expenses.

Published price differs from net price, which accounts for grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, and the average grant award was $21,738. The reported average net price was $17,762 for families earning up to $48,000 and $28,127 for those earning more than $110,000. Averages are not offers: applicants should complete the required financial-aid application, review Cedarville scholarship eligibility, and compare their own aid notice with the university's current-year cost estimate. Federal grants and loans, Ohio aid where eligible, institutional awards, and military education benefits may have different rules and application steps.

What are the work-study opportunities at Cedarville University?

Cedarville students may be able to work in campus jobs while studying, but a job is different from a grant or scholarship: wages are earned as hours are worked. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, is a need-based student employment program rather than money automatically credited in full against a tuition bill.

Students interested in work should ask the financial-aid office whether they qualify for Federal Work-Study and how to locate available positions. Other campus jobs may be open outside that program, subject to hiring needs. For career-related experience, the university's career services include job listings, interview preparation, employer recruitment, and internship-search support; an internship may have different pay and academic-credit arrangements from a campus job.
