Walla Walla University

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

Walla Walla University charges the same published undergraduate tuition to in-state and out-of-state students in the 2024-25 IPEDS figures: $33,012 for full-time tuition, plus $1,215 in required fees. That makes $34,227 for those two charges before housing, meals, books, transportation and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $33,012.
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $1,215.
• Published part-time undergraduate charge, 2024-25: $917 per credit hour.

The tuition-and-fees subtotal is not the complete annual cost of attendance. An individual budget also depends on living arrangements, meal choices, course materials and travel. Students should use the university's cost-of-attendance estimate for their entry year and avoid adding a housing charge twice if it is already included in that estimate.

Aid can substantially change what a student pays. In 2024-25 aid data, 99% of students received financial aid, and the reported average undergraduate grant award was $19,089; an average is not an individual award. Reported average net prices - estimated cost after grant and scholarship aid - were $20,079 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $28,760 for families above $110,000. These income-band averages are more informative than sticker price for many families, but they are not personalized quotes.

Eligible students may combine institutional scholarships with federal grants, loans and, where applicable, state or military education benefits. The FAFSA is the starting point for most federal aid. Applicants should check WWU's current scholarship and aid deadlines and compare their own aid offer with the full cost of attendance; loans reduce the amount due now but must generally be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Walla Walla University?

Students considering part-time work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from ordinary campus employment. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid awarded to eligible students; an award permits qualifying earnings but is not money automatically deducted from a tuition bill. Other student jobs may have different eligibility rules.

WWU students can ask the financial aid or student employment office how campus positions are posted, whether an aid award is required for a particular job, and how many hours can fit around classes. A job related to a major may build experience, but paid work, an internship and an academic field placement serve different purposes and may follow different application procedures.

Career services can assist with job-search preparation through counseling, résumés, interview practice, employer contacts and job listings. Students seeking off-campus work should also account for transportation and, where relevant, employment restrictions attached to their visa or financial aid.
