Proposed Scholarship Hall Rates 2025–2026

The proposed rate listed below is per person. All utilities are included. Financial aid and scholarships can be applied directly to student housing and dining charges. Scholarship halls have the lowest on-campus cost because “schol hallers” do the cooking and cleaning for fellow residents.

Dining costs for Miller and Watkins Halls vary. Miller and Watkins Halls each have seven home-style kitchens, rather than the large industrial kitchen like the other scholarship halls. Each seven-person kitchen in Miller and Watkins determines its own food budget.
