Calculate Your Cost of Attendance
How much should I expect to pay?
The Ashland University Net Price Calculator will help you estimate your out-of-pocket costs as well as provide an estimate of financial aid for your upcoming year. First-year and transfer students can be financially prepared to begin your college education.
First-year students will need your high school GPA and your ACT score. Transfer students will need their cumulative college GPA and college credit hours accrued.
Please note that this is an estimate; its result is formulated from the information provided. You will receive an official offer once your FAFSA and all required documentation are received.

Types of Financial Aid
There are many opportunities to make your education more affordable through institutional, private, federal, and state sources.
Ashland University offers a broad range of scholarships to recognize achievement in academics, athletics, the arts and other areas. Students may also benefit from grants or scholarships received from outside, private sources.
Federal and State grants and loans are other types of aid you could be eligible for if you meet academic, income or other requirements based on the FAFSA.
On-campus and off-campus student employment can also help students pay for their education while obtaining valuable experiences and skills for the future.

Financial Aid on Your Bill
The billing statement shows your actual charges for one semester, less any financial aid that has been credited to your account and what you owe. Certain situations may impact the ability for financial aid to apply to your billing statement. Reasons include:
- Federal grants and loans do not get credited to your account until 10 days before your first class of the semester begins.
- The Financial Aid Office may be waiting on requested documents, such as verification and/or tax returns, and some of your financial aid may be on hold awaiting document completion.
- You may still need to complete the required loan processes.
- Federal student loans have an origination fee; therefore, the amount you may receive as a disbursement may be slightly lower than the amount you accepted.
Reasons for variations in your billing statement may include:
- You may be taking classes with extra course or departmental fees not estimated on the financial aid offer letter that cover lab materials, assessments or certifications.
- You chose Selection of a different higher priced housing and/or meal plan option that increased your costs.
- Assessed You may still be eligible to waive your Student Health Insurance Fee that has not been waived by the student.

Student employment earnings do not apply directly to your bill until you secure an on-campus job, complete a student employment contract with the Student Accounts Office and earn funds over time based on hours worked.
