What does it cost to attend Gonzaga?
For information regarding tuition, fees, housing, meal plan and additional charges, please refer to our Tuition & Fees. Figuring out your expenses starts with determining the total cost of your attendance for one academic year. Besides calculating obvious costs such as tuition, fees, room and board, you should add estimated costs for books, personal expenses and travel.
The Financial Aid Office reviews the average costs of each of these items every year and, using that figure, establishes a "budget" for students. The budget varies depending upon whether a student is living on campus, off campus, or at home with family. Additionally, Gonzaga offers financial aid that can assist in financing your education.
