Elon University is committed to providing an exceptional education at a reasonable cost. Elon's cost of tuition, room and board remains below the national average for private four-year colleges and universities.
| Tuition and Fees | $27,881 |
| Room and Board | $9,090 |
| Total* | $36,971 |
*Note: North Carolina students receive a tuition grant from the N.C. General Assembly. The tuition discount for fall 2011 is $925; the spring 2012 discount is $695.
We believe our policy of keeping costs low is appreciated by our parents and students. In a recent survey, current parents rated their level of satisfaction with Elon 4.5 on a 5.0 scale, and 75 percent cited Elon as a "good educational value."
You may receive larger scholarships and need based awards from other schools. We simply ask that you compare the bottom line and the quality of education that you will be receiving. If you enroll, our commitment is that you will receive the best possible education for the most reasonable possible cost.
For federal financial aid purposes, estimates for books ($900), transportation ($1,100), and miscellaneous expenses ($1,500) are added to tuition, fees, room, and board to determine Elon University’s official total cost of attendance, which is $40,471 for 2011-2012.
Room and Board figures are based on a standard double room and the 10 meal plan. Total actual costs per student may vary depending upon room and board selections, but aggregate financial aid may not exceed the stated cost of attendance of $40,471.
