University of Mount Union

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Mount Union was $36,100, with $500 in required fees. The same published tuition was reported for in-state and out-of-state students, so Ohio residency did not create a separate undergraduate tuition rate in those figures.

Typical reported room and board totaled $12,950 for the academic year. Adding that amount to tuition and required fees produces $49,550 before books, transportation and personal expenses; it is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget. The reported books-and-supplies figure was $264, but an individual student's spending will depend on courses and materials. Commuters and students choosing different housing or meal arrangements will have different budgets.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, the average net price was $19,428 for families with income up to $48,000 and $26,495 for families with income above $110,000. These are averages for defined income groups, not quotes for an individual applicant. Mount Union also reported average undergraduate grant aid of $24,277; grant amounts, loan eligibility and remaining out-of-pocket costs depend on each student's aid offer.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Ohio aid and institutional scholarships through the applicable aid processes. The reported share receiving some form of financial aid was 100%, while 76% had student loans - a reason to compare grants separately from money that must be repaid. Applicants using military education benefits should obtain an individualized benefits review rather than assume those benefits cover the full published cost.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Mount Union?

Mount Union students may seek part-time employment alongside their studies, and eligible students may have Federal Work-Study included in a financial aid offer. Federal Work-Study is a need-based student-employment program; it is not a grant paid automatically and it does not guarantee a position or a particular number of hours.

Students should distinguish a Work-Study award from an ordinary campus job. Both involve earning wages for hours worked, but Work-Study eligibility and funding are tied to financial aid rules. An internship may offer academic credit or professional experience under different terms and is not automatically paid employment. Applicants considering work to meet living expenses should ask which positions are open, how hiring works and when wages are paid.
