Spring Arbor University

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

Spring Arbor University charges the same reported undergraduate tuition to in-state and out-of-state students. For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $33,344, with $670 in required fees. Those charges do not include housing, food, books, transportation, or personal expenses.

A separately reported annual room-and-board figure is $11,960, but students should use a single, current-year cost-of-attendance budget rather than add figures from potentially different reporting periods. Graduate, part-time, online, and program-specific prices may differ from the full-time undergraduate rate.

The published price is not necessarily what a student pays after assistance. Reported average net prices varied with family income: $15,697 for students from families earning no more than $48,000, compared with $21,370 for those from families earning above $110,000. A net price is an average after applicable grant and scholarship aid, not an individual quote; it does not mean loans have reduced the bill.

Financial aid can include federal and state grants for eligible students, university scholarships, and federal loans. In the reported aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 55% used student loans. Students seeking need-based assistance should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and review their own award letter for renewable scholarship conditions, remaining costs, and borrowing amounts. Eligible veterans and military-connected students should also confirm how their education benefits interact with institutional aid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Spring Arbor University?

Spring Arbor University students can seek part-time employment while enrolled, and eligible students may be considered for Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program that supports wages from an approved job; it is not a tuition discount or a guarantee of a position.

Students should check their aid offer to see whether Work-Study is included and then follow the university's process for finding and applying to available jobs. Ordinary student employment may have different eligibility rules. For career planning beyond a campus job, reported services include individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. An internship is not required of every student, although a particular major may require field experience.
