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
It's fairly expensive but it is very nice. And the food really isn't that bad either.
Andy from Peoria, IL
Olivet is fairly expensive compared to state universities. I am responsible for paying for my education and I think ONU is worth all of the student loans that I will have to pay off. The education is top notch and the professors are very student-centered. The dorms were great to live in my freshman year and I am especially liking living in the apartments my sophomore year. Although we complain about the food a lot, it really is not as bad as it could be. There are a lot of different types of food to chose from in the main dining hall. If all else fails, you are pretty safe getting a burger from the grille and a salad.
Nicole
Let's be honest, it is expensive, but for being a private school, it is actually average in price. It is definitely worth the price to go though, the campus is becoming more beautiful everyday, the staff is incredible, and the experience is unrivaled!
Kyle from Springfield, IL
Yea, it's expensive. On a scale of expensive colleges, Olivet is really expensive. But I can see all of my dollars being to put to use all the time. We have tons of resources available for study help, a great chapel where we can all go to service together, wonderful professors, great custodial staff, which makes for clean bathrooms, and really nice sidewalks. There's a ton of campus activities that anyone can participate in, lots of apartments for housing, clean buildings, work study opportunities, and 99% of the students here receive financial aid. It starts off expensive, but they give you a lot of help if you really want to come here, and they put the money to really good use.
Melyssa from Parma, MI
This school is pricey but they help out as much as they can with scholarships and financial aid. They will inform you of any change to your account and also help you understand what your paying and why.
Alexis from Trotwood, OH
Olivet is pretty good about giving out scholarships for academic and sports related things. There are also plenty of scholarships that you can apply for. I don't think that I have wasted any money coming to this school.
Hayley from Normal, IL
Though very costly, there are a variety of scholarships to look into. Army ROTC, and sports scholarship are just two of the many.
Lauren from Modesto, CA
You definitely earn it and feel like a better person!
