Access: Avila University

College within reach.

Planning for college causes most students and families confusion (and concern) over what your education is really going to cost. Published tuition prices, minus scholarships, plus housing… and don’t forget about books and fees! And what if you want to study abroad? How about research opportunities and internships? 

We get it and are fully committed to making college accessible and college costs simple.  

98% of Avila students receive scholarships. Upfront, your academic or athletic achievements qualify you for between $21,000 – $24,000 in scholarships. On top of that, you can gain performance, engagement, and access grants to lower your tuition costs.

On-time graduation and student debt. Graduating on time, without the expense of added semesters, is the most important thing any student can do to lower their college debt. If you do your part at Avila, we’ll do ours to ensure your on-time graduation.
