Tuition & fees
Tuition and fees depend on your degree and enrollment plan. Review tuition, the site fee, technology or student fees, and program-specific charges separately. Your course load can affect the total.

YOUR BUDGET.
Your college budget includes more than a tuition figure. Planning ahead helps you understand the academic costs, the Realife experience, and the everyday expenses that come with being a student.
Begin with a current cost sheet for your degree and enrollment plan. Then look at your financial aid options and personal budget so you can make a decision with a clearer picture of your own costs.
Request the full cost sheet and an individual estimate from SEU Staff. A useful estimate identifies the academic year, credit load, and treatment of practicum scholarships.
WHAT TO PLAN FOR.
Missions experience
The international trip fee is included in the site fee. You’ll also have opportunities for guided fundraising to help with additional trip expenses. Build those extra expenses into your personal budget as you prepare.
Everyday expenses
Plan for meals, transportation, and housing separately from tuition and fees. Living at home and renting locally lead to different budgets. Include travel, books, supplies, technology, and additional trip expenses in your personal budget.
Financial support
Federal and state financial aid may be available to qualified students. The FAFSA is part of exploring eligibility, alongside any applicable scholarships. Your aid and remaining cost depend on your circumstances and enrollment.
