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.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

Eastern is a lot less than some schools. I will say it gets cheaper after the first year...since freshman have to stay in the dorms.
Ashli from Nampa, ID
EOU doesn't charge out of state tuition, which makes it appealing to people wanting to travel away from home, at no extra cost. The school makes it very easy to find ways to pay for everything, and offers excellent scholarships.
Harmony from Wasilla, AK
Out of all the colleges' I have looked at in my search to find the Right college that fits me, I found that EOU has one of the lowest tuition rates in the state of Oregon. At only about $21,096 a year, I could still find ways to have fun. Whereas some of the other college tuition rates were way above that of EOU. EOU is the number one University in my book that really caught my eye, my heart, and the heart of my check book.
Jasmine from Portland, OR
I received a full ride through a combination of Federal grants, school scholarships and private scholarships. I know that Eastern is a good choice for many out of state students as well because it has no extra tuition. And, if I might add, I am NOT a perfect student, graduated with a 3.3 GPA, so Eastern is incredibly affordable.

(Tip: If you can avoid all loans and just take scholarships - if only for your first year - you are doing very well and on your way to a less stressful career)
Samantha from Baker City, OR
I believe that the price of attending Eastern Oregon University is extremely reasonable. This year alone I am barely paying over seven thousand dollars for tuition, health insurance (provided by the school), and all the other fees that are occurred during the school year.
Rheanna from Prineville, OR
Eastern Oregon is rather cheep compared to other colleges, especially for how much student teacher help you can get on an individual level. I'm surprised that it's not more per term than it is when it's so hard for students to not do great since there's always someone to help. Eastern is defiantly a place to go to succeed and also not go bankrupt.
Mallory from Walla Walla, WA
Cheap tuition for such a nice college package.
