Wilberforce University

Overview of Wilberforce University

---

After classes, WU students continue to learn and grow. The campus provides ample opportunities for student to compete in the intramural sports, student organizations, and a Student Center, where students can gather in an informal manner to eat, collect mail, watch television or play games, and even engage in student government.

On top of this, Wilberforce also supports men's and women's varsity-level sports that compete in the NAIA's AII conference. The WU Bulldogs carry the school colors in basketball, cross country, golf, track & field, and more. Since the school is so small, average students are welcome to try out for the teams. Small colleges typically offer students easier access to athletic and other leadership roles.

Wilberforce Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

For a private, non-profit institution, Wilberforce's costs are rather low. Currently, the total bill for tuition, books, and supplies is around $14,500. When living expenses are tallied, the total cost of a year at Wilberforce is $23,500, or slightly less for those living off-campus. This sort of cost rivals many public universities that cram freshmen into large lecture halls for their entry-level classes. In fact, these costs are shown to decline significantly once financial aid is factored in. In fact, the average net price (the cost after financial aid is applied) at Wilberforce is $13,000. That number is a bit higher for those from high-income families, $19,500, but still a Wilberforce education is a far better value than many larger institutions.
