Enjoy the same amazing value for the 2024-25 school year as Liberty keeps tuition frozen for the sixth year in a row. Getting a good education is important. So is being able to get a good job after graduation with the freedom to start making an impact in your field – without being held back by unnecessary debt. At Liberty University, we believe everyone should have an equal opportunity to pursue higher education, and it’s our job to keep that education affordable for you. That’s why 95% of Liberty students receive some form of financial aid. Liberty is also one of the most affordable options in the nation. Discover all the ways you can finance your education at Liberty through our scholarship opportunities.
We’re placing hardworking citizens at the forefront. Liberty is the first university in the U.S., public or private, to design a financial assistance program for the working middle class. Currently, many don’t qualify for the full Federal Pell Grant amount. The Middle America Scholarship is helping to bridge that gap. If your family falls within the $35,000-$95,000 income bracket, you may be eligible for over $6,000 per year. And you may be able to lock in the Middle America Scholarship program amount for up to four years. You can find out more about the Middle America Scholarship in our scholarship listing below. *A student must have completed 12 or fewer credit hours through Liberty to be considered a “new student” for eligibility purposes.

Resident students’ combined federal grants, state grants, and Liberty aid cannot exceed the combined cost of actual tuition and Tier 2 housing and food costs (see basic cost page ). For commuter students and all online students, the GSR calculation only includes the cost of tuition since there is no direct housing and food charges, which means federal grants, state grants, and Liberty aid cannot exceed the actual cost of tuition. If the combined aid exceeds the total cost as specified, Liberty aid will be reduced to resolve the excess aid. The Federal Pell Grant is not included as a factor in the GSR for Resident students. All Liberty aid is subject to the GSR.
