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

Taylor charges the same reported undergraduate tuition to in-state and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, full-time undergraduate tuition was $39,500, with $990 in required fees. The reported typical annual housing and dining charges totaled $12,025; books and supplies were estimated at $1,238.

  • 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $40,490.
  • Reported typical housing and dining: $12,025 for the academic year.
  • Estimated books and supplies: $1,238, before transportation and personal expenses.

Those listed components add to $53,753 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges. They are not a personalized financial-aid offer. Reported average net prices - which account for applicable grant aid and other costs in the federal calculation - vary by family income. For families in the $0-$48,000 income band, the reported average was $17,262; for those above $110,000, it was $30,050. An individual student's result can differ substantially.

Eligible students may use federal grants and loans, Indiana aid where applicable, and Taylor institutional scholarships or grants. Taylor reported that all students in the measured aid population received some form of financial aid, but that does not mean all costs were covered. Applicants should complete the FAFSA when seeking need-based federal aid and compare their own award letter with a full cost-of-attendance estimate. Military education benefits may also apply to eligible students; benefit eligibility and payment amounts depend on the student's program and circumstances.

What are the work-study opportunities at Taylor University?

Taylor students can pursue campus employment and use career services while enrolled. A campus job can provide wages and experience, but it is not the same as a grant: students generally must obtain a position and work the hours to be paid. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, is one possible employment funding arrangement rather than a promise of a job or an upfront tuition discount.

Taylor reports career support that includes individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, interview practice, career-interest assessment, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. Students can use these services to explore majors, look for internships, and prepare applications. An internship is not required of every student, although a particular major or career path may have its own experiential requirements. Career-service availability should not be confused with a verified employment outcome or job guarantee.
