Talking Points

Doesn’t the University of Evansville have high tuition?

At first glance, the full tuition does seem like a large amount. But, as with any institution, it pays to look a little closer. UE works with students and families to determine their financial need and which scholarships they qualify for. This personal attention has resulted in generous financial aid that makes UE an affordable option for more students.

Can a small university give me the same opportunities as a large one?

UE is definitely a small university, but the opportunities we provide rival those of larger universities – with a significant advantage: personal attention.

Outside of the classroom, you’ll be a part of an active student body, with clubs and events to keep you busy and entertained.
