The cost to attend Ecola varies based on the student's financial aid and the meal plan chosen. For 2023-2024, the average cost of attending is about $11,936.75.

Example 1: A student who wishes to purchase Meal Plan A and pay for the year in advance, will receive a 7.5% discount, and pay a total of $11,372.87 for tuition, housing, meals, and facilities ($10,529.27 for Meal Plan D).

Example 2: A student who wishes to reduce costs as much as possible can purchase the least expensive meal plan (Meal Plan D), join the work-study program, and apply for the full amount of need-based scholarship ($600). In this configuration, a student could reduce their out-of-pocket costs to about $8,800.
