Tuition
Union College is committed to providing an exceptional education at a reasonable cost. Union’s cost of tuition, room and board remains below the national average for private four-year colleges and universities.
100% of our students receive institutional scholarships and aid to help offset the cost of tuition.
Our commitment to all students is that you will receive the best possible education for the most reasonable possible cost.
Please ask your counselor about our new U|GRAD program that enables our most dedicated students, academically and civically, the opportunity to earn a tuition waiver during the last semester of their senior year. The program is open to all incoming freshman and can save thousands off the cost of total tuition during your college career. With the U|GRAD program, an education at Union will be much more cost efficient than many other colleges.
Room and Board figures are based on a standard double room and the 23-meal plan. Total actual costs per student may vary depending upon room and board selections.
