Tuition & Financial Aid 101
We get this question all the time: Can I afford a George Fox education? Spoiler alert: you can!
The average upfront cost to attend George Fox in the 2025-26 school year is $23,515. But you could pay even less based on your GPA and FAFSA. Our merit scholarships range from $7,000 to $23,000, with opportunities to earn even more through our Scholarship Summit. We’ll talk about that more below. Plus, new students can participate in a Visit Experience for a $1,000 annual scholarship.
First, we’d like to dispel some myths.
Myth 1: I don’t come from a wealthy family so I can't afford a George Fox education
Fact: You can! There are lots of students here who come from families just like yours. No matter your family’s financial background, you’ll fit right in.
Myth 2: I will have to take out a bunch of loans to pay for my education at George Fox
Fact: Because financial aid packages are personalized to the individual, the answer is different for everyone. Here’s some good news: The total average debt at graduation for our undergraduate students is over $5,000 less than the national average.
