Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
College is very expensive and Brenau is a private school. I do highly recommend attending Brenau, but I also recommend working hard to find scholarships for yourselves. That's why I'm here on Cappex, and let me just say how thankful I am for how easy Cappex makes searching and applying for scholarships!
Shannon from Lincolnton, GA
Brenau is expensive. As long as you know what your major is and immediately start applying for scholarships, the financial aid department is extremely helpful in anyway possible.
Gabriella from Lawrenceville, GA
I do believe you get your money's worth out of it, especially because we can only miss one class or you are dropped. Because of that I do think that's a negative. Since I'm paying for my school I feel as long as I am making a good grade it should be my choice to go to school when I want. Also, the teachers have to keep us in class the whole four hours which at times can feel like a lifetime. But, I do understand we need almost all of those hours to get a good education.
Rachel from Grovetown, GA
The university gives generous scholarships if you have good grades so the tuition is cut down by that, not to mention random scholarships out there can help out. With that said I would rather pay the money and have teachers who know what they're talking about and an advisor that answers her email and helps me that pay nothing and have incompetent professors and no help from the staff (cough cough Kennesaw State). So worth it.
