Life University's published cost of attendance is $41,295. Net price by income band shows how financial aid reshapes that headline figure: low-income families pay approximately $28,151, middle-income families pay around $30,263, and higher-income families pay approximately $30,883. Azimuth ranks Life University #869 for post-graduation affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. Net prices by income band are medians within those bands; individual aid packages vary, so some families in each band pay more and some less than the figures shown. Life University meets demonstrated financial need through a combination of need-based grants, merit scholarships, and federal and private loan options. Families apply for aid using the FAFSA and institutional aid forms; the financial aid office works with families to construct packages that balance grants, work-study, and borrowing. The affordability rank reflects both the net-price structure and the debt load graduates carry, which together shape long-term financial outcomes after enrollment. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $16,666, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $20,335; private or institutional loans may add further borrowing that falls outside these federal-only figures — see the Parent PLUS risk framework for how household context shapes PLUS decisions. For a graduate at the institution's median four-year earnings of $51,860, median federal debt of $16,666 projects to a monthly payment of about $188 under standard ten-year repayment.
