Financial Aid at Calvary Chapel University

At Calvary Chapel University, we are committed to making Christ-centered higher education accessible and transparent. We understand that pursuing a degree is both a spiritual and financial decision, and our goal is to help students and families plan wisely, without confusion or pressure. Financial aid at CCU may include a combination of federal aid*, institutional support, scholarships, and other resources designed to assist students at various stages of life and ministry. Whether you are a first-time undergraduate student, a transfer student, or an adult learner continuing your education, we want to provide clear information that helps you understand the true cost of attendance and the options available to you. We encourage all prospective students to explore financial aid early in the admissions process. Doing so allows you to make informed decisions, ask good questions, and move forward with confidence.

*At this time, Calvary Chapel University is not currently eligible to receive or disburse Federal Student Aid. Our Title IV application is pending. The information on this page and the Net Price Calculator are provided for general planning purposes only in anticipation of future approval. 

Understanding Your Cost of Attendance

The total cost of attending a university goes beyond tuition alone. Factors such as enrollment status, program of study, and eligibility for aid all play a role in determining what you may actually pay out of pocket. To help students and families better understand this, Calvary Chapel University provides access to a Net Price Calculator — a simple, confidential tool designed to estimate your personal cost of attendance based on your individual circumstances.

What Is a Net Price Calculator?

A Net Price Calculator is an online tool required by the U.S. Department of Education that helps prospective students estimate the net cost of attending a college or university after financial aid is applied. Rather than showing a generic tuition number, the calculator provides an estimated net price, which reflects tuition and fees minus any estimated grants, scholarships, or aid you may qualify for. This estimate is not a guarantee of financial aid, but it is a helpful planning tool that allows you to compare options and prepare for next steps in the admissions process.

How to Use the Net Price Calculator

Using the Net Price Calculator is straightforward and takes only a few minutes:

  • Click the button below to access the calculator
  • Answer a series of questions about household income, dependency status, and academic plans
  • Review your estimated net cost and potential financial aid
  • Use the results as a starting point for conversations with our admissions or financial aid team
  • All information entered into the calculator is confidential and used only to generate your estimate.
