1)  Affordable private education

Last year, SPU took the historic step in making college accessible and lowered tuition by 25%. This also lowered future SPU students' tuition for years to come.

2)  New scholarships

SPU offers several major scholarship opportunities that grant qualifying students thousands of dollars in tuition.

• Faith for the Future Scholarship: Grants 50% of tuition to students who demonstrate commitment to Christian faith.
• Falcon Bound: Grants a full tuition discount to qualifying students enrolled in Washington state’s College Bound program.
• SPU Merit Scholarships: Awarded based on a holistic review of students' academic performance and application, these scholarships range from $9,000 to $16,500 per year.

3) In-state Matching Scholar Commitment

This commitment matches the tuition rate of the premier public university in the qualifying student’s home state, giving high-achieving students a nationally ranked, private education — at a public school cost. Qualifying students' SPU tuition and fees will be equal to or less than that of their home state's flagship public university.

4)  Future tuition commitment

SPU is committed to keeping future tuition costs as low as possible, striving to keep costs affordable and predictable for students and their families.
