East-West University

What is the cost of studying for a year at East-West University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $24,000, with $1,395 in required fees, for $25,395 in published tuition and fees. The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same. This is not a complete annual living-expense budget.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $24,000 for 2024-25.
• Required fees: $1,395 for 2024-25.
• Combined published tuition and required fees: $25,395 for 2024-25, before aid and living expenses.

Students must also budget for books, transportation, food, and housing appropriate to their circumstances. Net price is different from the published price: it estimates attendance costs after grant and scholarship aid for a group of students. The reported average net price was $26,636 for families with annual income of $48,000 or less, and $29,284 for families earning $48,001-$75,000. A net price can exceed tuition and fees because it includes other attendance expenses.

Financial aid is important to interpreting these costs. In the reported 2024-25 figures, 92% of students received financial aid and 60% had student loans. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $9,776; grants generally do not require repayment, while loans generally do. Eligible students can investigate federal grants and loans, Illinois aid, institutional scholarships, and applicable military education benefits through the financial aid office. An individual aid offer - not an institutional average - shows what a student is expected to cover and how much of the offer consists of borrowing.

What are the work-study opportunities at East-West University?

East-West University students can seek career guidance while studying, but a part-time job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are distinct opportunities. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid in full at enrollment or a guarantee of a position.

Reported career services include individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest testing, a job bank, job fairs, and alumni networking. Individual placement assistance and on-campus employer recruitment are reported for full-time undergraduates. An internship is not reported as a university-wide graduation requirement. Students seeking paid work should ask financial aid whether Work-Study appears in their award and ask career services how to apply for jobs or internships; employment and internship credit may have different rules.
