The cumulative gross sticker price for a four-year undergraduate education at Gonzaga University—combining private instructional tuition, mandatory student fees, residence hall housing accommodations, and meal plans—totals well over 240,000 to 260,000 dollars before any financial assistance is applied. However, because a vast percentage of undergraduate students receive institutional merit-based scholarships, academic grants, or need-based financial aid packages awarded directly by the university's financial aid office, the actual net out-of-pocket price paid by families is substantially lower than the published sticker rate.
