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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Life University was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and mandatory fees are only the starting point for a budget; housing, food, books, transportation and personal expenses can substantially increase the amount needed for an academic year.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $13,545 for 2024-25.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,491 for 2024-25, bringing tuition and fees to $15,036.
• Reported room and board charges: $12,825 for an academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,800 for an academic year.

Those listed amounts total $29,661, before transportation and personal expenses. They should not be mistaken for every student's official cost-of-attendance budget: a commuter's living expenses, an individual aid package and program-specific costs may differ. Professional and graduate students should obtain estimates for their own programs rather than using undergraduate tuition.

In 2024-25, 93% of students in the reported aid population received financial aid, and 52% had student loans. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $12,141. Aid may include eligible federal and state grants, institutional assistance and loans; applicants generally begin the federal-aid process with the FAFSA. Military education benefits may also be relevant to eligible students. A grant reduces what a student must pay, while a loan generally must be repaid.

Net price provides another perspective because it reflects costs after grant aid, not simply the tuition bill. The reported average net price was $28,136 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $30,263 for those in the next reported income band, $48,001-$75,000. These are group averages, not aid offers. An individual student should compare the university's full cost-of-attendance estimate with their actual grant, scholarship, loan and work offers.

What are the work-study opportunities at Life University?

Students seeking paid work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary campus job. Federal Work-Study is need-based student employment awarded through financial aid; receiving an award does not itself place a student in a job or pay the full award upfront.

Life students can also use career services for job-search preparation, including résumé help, interview workshops, counseling and employer referrals. A part-time job may provide income and experience even if it is not part of a federal aid award. Applicants should ask the financial aid office whether they have Work-Study eligibility and where eligible positions are posted, then confirm a job's hours and pay with the hiring department.
