University leadership emphasized that the tuition adjustment is part of a broader effort to balance affordability with necessary investments in faculty, academic programs, student services, and campus infrastructure.

91Ƭ remains deeply committed to providing a Christ-centered, high-quality education while being thoughtful stewards of the resources entrusted to us, said Sarah Taylor, Vice President of Business Affairs. We recognize that any increase in tuition is significant for families, and we continue to prioritize financial aid, scholarships, and institutional support to help make a 91Ƭ education accessible.

91Ƭ continues to offer institutional scholarships, need-based aid, and academic awards to help offset costs for students and families.More than 99% of 91Ƭ students receive some form of financial assistance, reflecting the University ongoing commitment to affordability and access.
