Olivet Nazarene University

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

Olivet charges the same reported undergraduate tuition to in-state and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, full-time undergraduate tuition was $37,910 and required fees were $990. Tuition and fees alone therefore totaled $38,900 before housing, meals and other expenses.

• Tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $38,900 for a full-time undergraduate.
• Reported room and board: $11,990 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $850.

Adding those three reported categories produces $51,740, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific charges can add to it. Part-time, graduate and online-program rates may differ. Students comparing offers should use the costs for the same academic year and their actual enrollment and living arrangements.

Published cost is also different from net price after grants and scholarships. For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $15,056; for those with income above $110,000, it was $25,580. These are averages, not individual awards. Reported aid reaches a large share of students, but 63% received student loans, so an aid offer should be read carefully to separate money that does not need repayment from borrowing. Eligible students may be considered for federal or state grants, university scholarships and federal loans through the applicable aid process, including the FAFSA.

What are the work-study opportunities at Olivet Nazarene University?

Students seeking paid work should distinguish Federal Work-Study, a need-based financial-aid program, from other campus jobs. A Work-Study award does not by itself place a student in a position; students generally must find an eligible job and earn wages through hours worked.

Olivet students can also use career services for individual or group career planning, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources and employer events. On-campus recruitment, a job bank and job fairs are reported services. A part-time job may help with ongoing expenses, while an internship may be chosen primarily for experience or academic credit; applicants should confirm pay, eligibility and course requirements for each opportunity. Students interested in Work-Study should review their aid offer and ask the financial aid or student-employment office how available positions are posted.
