CAN I AFFORD ORAL ROBERTS UNIVERSITY?
A degree from ORU is a life-changing investment for you and your future. As you review
the cost of attending, remember that nearly 100% of our full-time undergraduate students
do not pay the full cost of attendance. Like them, you can benefit from many forms
of financial aid for which you may qualify. We’re here to help you understand the
ins-and-outs of financial aid, smart borrowing, and the offer being made to you.
