How to Pay for College
The cost of a university education can seem daunting, but ACU’s innovative block tuition model is designed to provide a variety of options to enable your every step, including institutional aid, tuition payment plans and connections to external funding.
Financial Aid
ACU helps advance your education in the ways you need it most. One hundred percent of incoming freshmen receive institutional aid through merit- or need-based scholarships, grants, loans or Work-Study.

Tuition & Fees
At ACU, we believe that Christian higher education should remain affordable. As part of our commitment to nurturing your growth, we’ve adopted a block tuition model for full-time undergraduate students that allows you to make the most of your time and your financial investment.
Scholarships
You bring incredible talent and drive to the table as an incoming student, so we’ve designed scholarships that celebrate your achievements and continue to propel you forward. Our first-year scholarship and grant opportunities are awarded based on a wide variety of factors, including academic achievement, community service, leadership and financial need.
Virtual Academic Showcase
You might find yourself unsure where to begin your exploration amid over 164 areas of study across 79 majors. To guide your journey, we’ve assembled a series of virtual showcases with students, faculty and staff that illustrate the passion and joy of the academic divisions at ACU.
