➀ Your tuition cost, also
known as net tuition, is the
cost of tuition, minus your
grants and scholarships.
Since your scholarships
and grants will increase
each year, your net tuition
cost stays the same. The
result? You don’t need to
worry about annual tuition
increases.

Ensuring your success from every angle — like no one else can.
By working with your academic
adviser and following your
degree plan, we help ensure you
will graduate on time — and be
poised for a successful future.

Your estimated four-year gift aid
is $95,210 (including a $55,810
merit scholarship, $4,000
textbook scholarship and $3,000
summer abroad scholarship).

We’re invested in your success.
Through grants and scholarships,
the University is contributing
40% to your tuition.

Employers want global leaders, and
you can globalize your education at
the University of Dayton China
Institute at no additional cost.

Unlike other universities, we have
no fees for labs, courses, etc. This
could save you up to $12,000 in
unexpected fees over four years.

Because you received the
textbook scholarship, we will
provide $4,000 toward your
textbooks.
