Union Adventist University

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

Union Adventist University charges the same reported undergraduate tuition to Nebraska residents and students from other states. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $27,984, with $1,350 in required fees. Those charges precede housing, meals, books, transportation and personal expenses.

• 2024-25 undergraduate tuition and required fees: $29,334 combined.
• Reported annual room and board: $8,612 combined.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,800.

Together, those reported amounts come to $39,746, before transportation and personal expenses. It is an illustrative sum of the listed charges, not a complete individualized cost-of-attendance budget. A separate 2026 tuition-and-fees listing gives $30,296; because it refers to a different reporting period, it should not be added to the 2024-25 housing and book figures to create a purported single-year total. Part-time students, graduate students and students in programs with additional expenses need their own budgets.

Published charges are also different from net price, which reflects grant and scholarship aid rather than loans. Reported average net price for students from families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less was $16,740; individual awards and costs vary. Aid reporting indicates that all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 61% had student loans. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $17,407. Those averages are not an award offer to any particular applicant.

Eligible students may combine institutional scholarships with federal or state grants and federal loans, subject to program rules and an individual aid determination. Applicants should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid when seeking federal aid and compare the university's itemized aid offer with its full annual cost estimate. Military education benefits require separate eligibility confirmation; they should not be assumed to cover the full bill.

What are the work-study opportunities at Union Adventist University?

Union Adventist University reports student career support that includes individual career planning, résumé preparation, career-interest testing, a job bank, job fairs and on-campus employer recruitment. Those are services and opportunities, not measured employment outcomes or guarantees of placement.

Students seeking part-time work should distinguish an ordinary student job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is need-based federal aid for eligible students and generally requires an aid application and an available qualifying job; an award does not mean wages are paid upfront against the tuition bill. Other campus jobs may have different eligibility and funding. Students should ask the financial aid office how employment is offered and the office responsible for jobs how to apply.

Internships can serve a different purpose again: earning experience or academic credit does not necessarily mean earning wages. The university does not report a universal internship requirement. Students should check whether their major requires a placement and whether a proposed position is paid, credit-bearing, or both.
