Costs & financial aid
Compare the year and population before comparing prices. Published budgets, group averages and your actual aid offer are different.
2026–27 cost of attendance
Published by Loyola University Chicago$77,082
Published billed charges — not the full cost of attendance
- 2026–27
- Partial costs only
This budget assumes
- Any state of residence
- On campus
- First-year students
The school does not publish a complete 2026–27 cost of attendance for this situation. Costs it leaves out are not zero — plan for housing, food, books, travel and personal expenses that are not listed here.
Amounts the school publishes for this situation
Separate published amounts. They do not make up a complete budget, and ICP does not add them together.
- Tuition
- $56,930
- Room and board (average first-year double room and meal plan)
- $18,572
- Fees (estimate)
- $1,580
Not included in this amount
Books, supplies, transportation, personal expenses.
This is the school’s budget before financial aid. It is not a bill, the federal average net price, or your own aid offer.
About this budget
- The school labels these figures 2026–27.
- Source: Undergraduate Tuition and Fees - 2026-27 Undergraduate Estimated Costs (Loyola University Chicago Undergraduate Admission). Researched October 21, 2026; independently audited October 22, 2026.
Research notes: "Estimated expense total" covers tuition, average first-year double room and meal plan, and estimated fees only; Nursing tuition is $58,180 (total would be $78,332 by ICP arithmetic, not stored).
Understand the five kinds of college costs
- Tuition & fees
- Instruction and required college fees; living costs are additional unless explicitly included.
- Attendance budget
- College charges plus estimated living, books, travel and other included expenses, before aid.
- Average annual cost after grants & scholarships
- A historical average after federal, state/local and college grant aid for a specified federal-aid population. Outside private scholarships are not automatically deducted; loans and work-study are not discounts.
- Your net cost
- Your entered attendance cost minus selected grants and scholarships. Loans and work-study remain funding sources.
- Borrowing
- Debt to repay, not a discount. Work-study is earned over time, not an upfront bill reduction.
Average annual cost after grants & scholarships
$36,340
2024–25
Includes applicable federal, state/local and college grants and scholarships. First-time, full-time students receiving federal financial aid form the reporting population. The attendance budget includes estimated living expenses. Your actual cost may differ.
About this number: Average annual cost after grants & scholarships
Federal average net price: average attendance cost (tuition, fees, books, supplies and living expenses) minus qualifying federal, state/local and institutional grants and scholarships for this population. Federal aid defines the reporting population, not the only aid deducted; some included students receive federal loans or work-study but no grants. This is a historical average, not a personalized award. Outside private scholarships are not automatically deducted. Loans and work-study are not subtracted. This is not tuition alone, an individual award, a guaranteed price or necessarily a college bill.
