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.

Tuition
In-State Tuition In-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who meet the state's or institution's residency requirements. In-district tuition is the tuition charged by the institution to those students residing in the locality in which they attend school and may be a lower rate than in-state tuition if offered by the institution.
$31,168
Out-of-State Tuition Out-of-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who do not meet the state's or institution's residency requirements. Out-of-district tuition is the tuition charged by the institution to those students not residing in the locality in which they attend school.

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

By far, I would say the size of the university and how it opens for one-on-one support by our faculty is the most impressive, bang for the buck idea that Indiana Wesleyan brings to the table. I think having the ability to e-mail a professor with a question, set up a meeting and have coffee, or simply enjoy their company is very valuable. I remember when my advisor, Dr. Constance Cherry, emailed me to have coffee one day last semester. During that time, she simply encouraged me in what I was learning and said she saw so much in me as a student. You can never put a price on moments like that. Never.
Randall from Goode, VA
It's expensive, but they have excellent scholarship opportunities for almost every major available.
Angelica from Avon, IN
Expensive but well worth every penny. You can get a lot of scholarships anyway.
Jessica from Sheridan, MI
I find this school expensive but they have several options open to help with the cost.
Dutchboy
You definitely get your money's worth here. It is a great institution of learning. I've created memories here that I'll never forget.
Nicholas from Noblesville, IN
Being a private school, its more on the pricey end, but the quality of education, for both basic and major classes, holds itself up to its cost. As I said before, the professors usually will go the extra mile to help a student learn what he needs to if the student is willing.
Mandi from Cedar Springs, MI
As with all private schools, IWU is quite expensive. However, they will do whatever they can to help you find financial aid as long as you are willing to hold up your end of the deal and take the time to fill out your FAFSA and such.
Paul from West Lafayette, IN
It's a bit expensive. Go for the scholarships.
Laura from Springfield, OH
Indiana Wesleyan is a private school, therefore it is more expensive, but they have tons of campus jobs and give a lot of scholarships to help manage the cost.
