At Cedarville, we are doing everything we can to make a high-quality, Christian education affordable and accessible for families. Along with competitive costs that are below the national private college average, Cedarville provides a wide range of financial aid options to assist students and families. For the 2024–25 academic year, 100% of new freshmen received scholarships, with an average of $26,150 in scholarships and grants awarded. Students who completed the FAFSA also had access to additional funding from Federal Student Loans.
Academic scholarships range from $12,000 up to $22,000 per year and are renewable for all four years as long as the student meets the required GPA. These generous scholarships can be combined with need-based scholarships, academic program scholarships (music and pharmacy students, for example), athletic scholarships, and other forms of aid.

Federal regulations require institutions provide an allowance for the costs associated with obtaining a license, certification, or a first professional credential, for a student in a program that prepares them to enter a profession that requires such a qualification. Institutions are permitted to use an average. If you are taking such an exam for this academic year, add $264 to the total cost of attendance (note: this is not a charge to your bill) and contact the Financial Aid office as it may allow for an increase in your educational loan(s).
