Moody Bible Institute

What is the cost of studying for a year at Moody Bible Institute?

For the reported 2024-25 academic year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $13,152 for both Illinois residents and students from other states. Required undergraduate fees were $2,634, bringing published tuition and mandatory fees to $15,786 before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $13,152 for the academic year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $2,634 for the academic year.
• Typical room charge: $7,810 for the academic year.
• Typical board charge: $6,180 for the academic year.

Adding those reported tuition, fee, room, and board figures produces $29,776. That is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: books, transportation, and personal expenses can add to the amount, and an individual's housing arrangement may differ. Moody has used tuition-grant arrangements for eligible undergraduate students, so the published tuition figure should not automatically be treated as the tuition an eligible student ultimately pays. Applicants should inspect their program- and campus-specific aid offer and any conditions attached to a grant.

IPEDS 2024-25 figures show that 90% of students received financial aid and 42% had student loans. The reported average net price for students from families earning $0-48,000 was $23,057. Net price reflects costs after applicable grant aid for a defined group; it is not a quote for an individual applicant and should not be confused with the amount a family must pay immediately.

Eligible students may consider federal and state grants, institutional aid, scholarships, and federal loans. Completing the FAFSA and checking Moody's financial-aid requirements and priority dates are practical first steps. Students using military education benefits should have the relevant benefits office explain how those payments interact with institutional grants and other aid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Moody Bible Institute?

Student employment may help Moody Bible Institute students meet expenses, but a campus job is different from a grant or scholarship: wages are earned through work. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's financial-aid offer, provides access to qualifying employment rather than an automatic payment of the full award amount.

Students seeking work should check current campus openings, hiring rules, and whether a position requires Federal Work-Study eligibility. Work that relates to a student's academic interests can provide experience, but an internship or ordinary part-time job does not become Federal Work-Study merely because a student is enrolled.

Moody also reports career services such as job listings, résumé review, interview preparation, and employer events. Those resources can support a search for either part-time work or later employment; students should ask the financial-aid office how earnings might affect their aid circumstances and the hiring office about available hours.
