Whether you are a first-time college student or returning to college to complete your degree, the journey to college can be overwhelming. Understanding the cost of attendance shouldn’t be.
WPU’s estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) is the total average amount it will cost you to attend WPU for the academic year. COA is based on tuition, fees, housing, food, books, transportation, and personal items for a full-time student. These expenses, along with other costs associated with your education can be categorized between direct and indirect costs.
Direct Cost can be thought of as any expense that a student pays directly to WPU. For example, tuition, fees and living expenses, housing and food (if a student lives on campus). Indirect Cost can be thought of as any expenses that are not paid directly to WPU but are associated with educational cost. For example, transportation, supplies, and social activities.

Net Price Calculator
Here’s a quick way you can estimate the number of grants and scholarships that students like yourself received. Use our net price calculator to get an idea of where you stand. It’s important to note, this calculator is based on past tuition rates.
This Net Price Calculator does not take the place of submitting an actual aid application. Once you apply for admission, you will need to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Your FAFSA may be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov using the William Peace University Code of 002953.
