Average annual cost for tuition, housing, food and fees for students living on campus.
Every university or college reports an Average Net Price to the federal government,
which is the average cost of tuition plus direct costs for food and housing. Using
the most recent year of available comparative data, 2021-22, a first-year student at the University of Dallas paid $27,250, lower than the average cost of many four-year private universities and lower or
comparable to several four-year Texas public universities for families with an annual
income over $75,000.
Moreover, the University of Dallas is significantly more affordable than other Newman Guide colleges for families with incomes below $48,000.
The University of Dallas considers all applicants for merit-based scholarships by
weighing either their grade point average or standardized test scores for the SAT,
ACT or CLT. About 98% receive some merit scholarships or financial aid.
Additionally, your costs may be reduced significantly based on your family’s eligibility
for federal financial aid, which can come in the form of grants, low-interest student
loans, or work-study. To find out how much federal aid you are eligible to receive,
you must complete the Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®)
at studentaid.gov.
In addition to determining eligibility for federal grants, work-study or low-interest student loans, the University of Dallas uses FAFSA® information to determine eligibility for need-based aid.
On average, students who complete the FAFSA® and are eligible for federal aid can receive up to $33,180 per year to defray the cost of tuition. Students who do not submit a FAFSA® cannot be considered for financial assistance.

The FAFSA® must be filed annually. While merit scholarships can renew, financial aid must be recalculated based on updated financial and household information. Complete the FAFSA® before the priority deadline each year.
We are here to help. A non-UD scholarship obtained independently by the student may necessitate the adjustment of loans, work-study and, in some cases, need-based grants. Your admission counselor and our Office of Financial Aid can help.
