Pfeiffer Announces that Tuition and Fees will not Increase for 2026-2027 Academic Year
Pfeiffer University announced today that it will maintain current undergraduate tuition, mandatory fees, and room rates for the 2026–2027 academic year, ensuring that students and families will see no increase in the cost of attendance. At its most recent meeting, Pfeiffer University’s Board of Trustees unanimously voted to keep tuition, fees, and room rates unchanged for the next academic year.
This decision underscores Pfeiffer’s enduring commitment to accessibility, affordability, and high-quality education, core values that continue to define the University’s mission in service to its students and the region.
“At a time when many colleges and universities are increasing costs, Pfeiffer is intentionally choosing a different path,” said Dr. Scott Bullard, President of Pfeiffer University. “We believe that a transformative, personalized education should remain within reach for every student. By holding undergraduate tuition, fees, and room rates steady for 2026–27, we are investing in our students’ futures and reaffirming our promise to keep Pfeiffer affordable without compromising excellence.”
The decision applies to all undergraduate students. Pfeiffer continues to provide significant institutional aid and scholarships to ensure access for students from a wide range of backgrounds. More than 95 percent of Pfeiffer students receive some form of financial assistance each year.
“Affordability and academic quality are not competing values at Pfeiffer,” Dr. Bullard added. “We will continue to make prudent financial decisions that allow us to invest in our students’ success while keeping costs stable. This approach honors both our Methodist heritage and our deep commitment to servant leadership.”
Pfeiffer’s decision comes amid national conversations about the cost of higher education and the importance of sustainable models that support both students and institutions. By maintaining tuition and housing rates, Pfeiffer aims to provide families with financial predictability and peace of mind as they plan for the future.
