A Best Value – and for More than Just Cost
U.S. News & World Report
has consistently recognized Stevenson as a “Best Value School” – and for good reason.
College-bound students and families often look a large, public universities as the affordable choice, but this isn’t always true. Stevenson’s price is competitive with most large public universities, and 99% of our students receive scholarships and/or financial aid. So, you don’t have to compromise.
The published cost of a Stevenson education (tuition, fees, room, and board) is $57,824 in 2026-2027, but our generous financial aid packages, including merit scholarships and need-based aid, make the cost and value of a personalized college education affordable and accessible to you.
Affordability isn’t our only advantage. Our mentoring, supportive campus community, career focus, and exceptional experiences in and out of the classroom are all part of the “Best Value” that we bring to your education.
Our average annual cost after financial aid*
$28,580
makes us competitive with most large public universities.
*Cost is based on average financial aid package for first year students for 2025-26
(Includes institutional, federal, and state scholarships and grants)

Cost of Attendance
2026-2027
The Cost of Attendance (COA), sometimes referred to as the student budget, is an estimate of what it will cost to attend Stevenson University for one year. It’s intended to help the applicant budget, but it’s also used by the financial aid office to determine eligibility for aid.
The COA includes tuition and estimates for living expenses (housing and food); books, course materials, supplies, and equipment; transportation; personal expenses, average student federal loan fees for students attending school at least half time, and academic programs that require licensure, certification, or a first professional credential, and have costs associated with obtaining such qualification.
The COA is not a bill and actual expenses will vary by student. Students who incur costs for eligible study abroad programs, disability-related expenses, dependent care or cooperative education costs, may request a cost of attendance adjustment by contacting the Office of Financial Aid.
What’s included in my COA?
Your cost of attendance is made up of two different types of costs: direct and indirect.
Direct costs
are items that will appear on your University bill, such as tuition, fees, and housing (if you live on campus), food plans and online digital educational materials (IA & Cengage Unlimited).
Tuition and Fees: The figures reflect the cost of tuition and fees for a student taking 12-18 credits during each of the fall and spring semesters of the respective academic year (which is considered full-time). Additional tuition and fees may be incurred for 19 or more credits a semester, Winterim course fee and/or Nursing related fees.
For students who live “on-campus”, the housing and food allowances are based on the average cost for on-campus housing and Meal Plan A Unlimited. Actual costs will be determined by room and meal plan selection.
Indirect costs
will not appear on your bill, but are allowances associated with going to college and should be included in your budget.
Living expenses: For students who “off-campus not with parents”, the housing and food allowances are based on the average cost for on-campus housing and Meal Plan A Unlimited. If you commute from your parents’ home, you will receive the “Living with Parent” housing and food allowance.
Books and supplies: This is an estimate of the cost of books and supplies for a typical student for the entire academic year. You may be billed directly for Inclusive Access (IA) course materials associated with specific courses. The supply cost assumes that students do not have a computer, and allows for a student to purchase a personal computer.
Transportation: An allowance which may include transportation between campus, residences, and place of work.
Miscellaneous personal expenses: An estimate of costs for clothing, haircuts, entertainment, etc. for the year, assuming the student is attending the institution on at least a half-time basis. Money spent on these types of items will vary from student to student.
Average Federal student loan fees: There is an origination fee of 1.057% for Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized student loans, which is taken out of the loan before funds are sent to Stevenson University. Some of our parents opt to take advantage of the Parent PLUS loan. The fee amount varies with the amount borrowed from the federal government.
Professional licensure, certification, or a first professional credential: An allowance for the costs associated with obtaining a license, certification, or a first professional credential, for a student in a program that prepares them to enter a profession that requires such a qualification.
