Affordability Overview

From WPU

Affordable WPU: A Private Education at a Cost Comparable to a Public
Nearly 100% of our traditional undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid. So the price you see listed as tuition isn’t the price most people pay. After factoring in merit and need-based scholarships, many of our students pay as low as $20,000 per year for tuition, (which includes books, tutoring, and printing).

For some students, that ends up on par with area public universities. We encourage you to check out our cost compare chart below.

A bachelor’s degree is an investment in your future, but it’s one you want to make sure generates a return. Our financial aid team is thrilled to help you with any questions about paying for college.

The state offers two major need-based grants: The NC Need-Based Scholarship for Private College Students and the NC Scholarship. Both are reserved for needy students, and the former is reserved for those attending private schools. Unlike scholarships, these do not involve selection committees or essays.
