Maranatha Baptist University

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

The 2024-25 reported price for a full-time undergraduate was $20,040 in tuition plus $1,510 in required fees, for $21,550 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses. The reported undergraduate tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These are published charges, not an individual financial-aid offer.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $20,040.
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $1,510.
• Reported room and board charge: $9,800; verify the applicable year and housing option before combining it with a tuition figure.
• Reported part-time undergraduate charge: $835 per credit hour; additional fees may apply.

A complete cost-of-attendance budget also accounts for books, supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. Students should use the university's budget for their particular academic year and living arrangement rather than treating tuition alone as the annual cost.

Financial aid can substantially change what a student pays, but it varies by eligibility. In IPEDS 2024-25 reporting, 98% of undergraduates received some form of financial aid, while 24% received student loans. The reported average grant award was $8,986. Grants and scholarships generally do not require repayment; loans do. Federal grants and loans generally require the FAFSA, and institutional or state assistance may have additional rules.

Average net price - the reported cost after grant and scholarship aid - also varied by family-income group. For families earning $48,000 or less annually, the reported average was $22,995. That is an average for a group, not a quote for an applicant. A student's aid offer and the university's current cost-of-attendance budget provide a more relevant comparison of expected charges, grants, and possible borrowing.

What are the work-study opportunities at Maranatha Baptist University?

Student employment, Federal Work-Study, and internships are different ways to gain experience or help cover expenses. A campus job pays wages for work performed; it does not reduce a tuition bill in the same way as a grant. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a need-based aid program and does not guarantee that the student will obtain a job.

Students seeking work should ask financial aid how eligibility and job placement operate and ask campus employers how positions are advertised. They should also check whether work hours can fit the schedule of a laboratory, clinical placement, or other required course. The university does not report an internship requirement for every undergraduate, so students interested in career-related experience should examine the requirements and placement support of their particular major.
