Tuition for undergraduates enrolled in Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Goizueta Business School, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing and Oxford College was increased by 3 percent, from $53,070 to $54,660. The combined undergraduate tuition, fees, room, and board was set at $71,771 from $69,440, an overall increase of 3.4 percent. Tuition for the university’s graduate and professional school programs increased on average by 2-3 percent.

“Tuition is determined by many factors with the overall goal of providing our students with world-class educational experiences and opportunities,” says Fenves. “As a university, it is our obligation to invest these resources wisely and use them to strengthen every aspect of our academic mission while offering excellence across our schools, departments, and programs as we move toward safely returning all students to campus in the fall of 2021.”

Emory maintains a commitment to meet 100 percent of demonstrated financial need for admitted domestic undergraduates and their families, with 68 percent of all Emory undergraduates receiving financial aid. Financial aid includes grants, scholarships, loans, and federal work study. 

Last year more than $196 million in grants and scholarships from federal, state, and university resources were provided to undergraduate Emory students — with Emory funding 92 percent of the total aid, grants, and scholarships awarded to undergraduates. This institutional support includes the Emory Advantage program, which limits the amount of loans a family will need if their total annual income is $100,000 or less.
