The Facts Behind the Cost of Education

Educating students is an expensive endeavor, and tuition dollars do not cover this total expense.  You might be surprised to learn that, on average, tuition revenue from IWU students and their families covers only about 72% of the cost of their education.  Private support from alums and friends is essential to bridge this gap.
