Scholarships

 
 

 According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition, fees as well as room and board for private non-profit colleges in the 2023-24 school year was $60,420 (+4.07% increase from 22’). That means your education could cost you an upwards of $241,680 over a four year period.

Fortunately, that doesn't have to be your outcome if you attend SEU Carolina. That's because our cost is under $19,986 per year for full time undergrad students (tuition, room and board). In the course of a four year program, that translates to over 60% or $161,736 in savings if you attend SEU Carolina. And if you are local and do not need housing, that savings can increase even more.

In addition to that savings, we also have scholarships available. All scholarships are provided by Multiply Church and awarded based on the need of the student and the availability of funds. Scroll down to learn more about the scholarships made available through Multiply Church.
