Heritage Christian University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Heritage Christian University was $10,152, with $1,830 in required fees. The same tuition and fee amounts were reported for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. A published price is the starting point for a budget, not necessarily the amount a student ultimately pays.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $11,982 for 2024-25.
• Reported academic-year room and board: $9,348.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,700.

Adding those reported categories produces $23,030 for a student using the stated room-and-board amount. That calculation is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation and personal expenses may add to it, and a commuter's living costs will differ. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $423 per credit hour; graduate students face a different tuition and fee schedule.

Financial aid can change the amount paid. In 2024-25 aid reporting, the average grant award to undergraduate recipients was $6,603, and 9% of students received student loans. Average reported net prices were $15,833 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $15,020 for those between $48,001 and $75,000. These are group averages after aid, not individual quotes. Eligible students can compare institutional scholarships, federal and applicable state grants, loans, and any qualifying military benefits through a personalized aid offer.

What are the work-study opportunities at Heritage Christian University?

Students seeking work while enrolled should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study, which is a need-based financial aid program. A work-study award, where offered to an eligible student, generally permits earnings through an approved job rather than reducing a tuition bill automatically.

Ask HCU's financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study positions are offered, how jobs are assigned, and what application steps follow a financial aid offer. Students can also ask about regular campus employment and the hours available during their expected course schedule. For longer-term planning, HCU reports individual and group career counseling, individual job-placement assistance, and on-campus employer recruitment for undergraduates; those services should not be interpreted as a guarantee of employment.
