Liberty University announced in September that it has frozen tuition for both its residential and online programs through the 2024-25 school year, easing the financial stress for current and prospective students at a time when high inflation is affecting many families. This freeze marks the sixth year that tuition rates have remained the same for residential students, while online students will see steady tuition rates for the ninth-straight school year. The move demonstrates the university’s commitment to making a world-class Christian education accessible for as many students as possible.
“At Liberty University, we believe God made every person for a unique purpose, and we want to equip as many students as we can to fulfill their God-given calling as part of our mission of Training Champions for Christ,” President Dondi Costin said. “Every student, no matter their financial situation, should have the opportunity to pursue what God has called them to be. Our decision to freeze tuition rates for yet another year is just one of the many ways we’re working to deliver on our mission and to help ease the financial burden on all families.”
Liberty’s residential undergraduate tuition rates place it in the top 25% for affordability among its leading private, residential competitors. Low tuition rates for its online program make Liberty a top choice for students wishing to fulfill their dream of earning a college degree or advancing their careers from their homes across the country and around the world. With a total enrollment of over 135,000 students in the 2022-23 academic year, including over 119,000 online students, Liberty remains one of the nation’s largest private, nonprofit universities.
The tuition freeze complements several innovative financial solutions offered to Liberty students to avoid college debt and set them up for success upon graduation, including the Middle America Scholarship that helps to fill in the gaps left by the Pell Grant and undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral-level military and first responder benefits.
