Student Aid Index (SAI) Estimator

This Net Price Calculator (NPC) provides an estimated net price, which is the estimated cost of attendance—including tuition and required fees, books and supplies, food and housing, and other related expenses—minus estimated grant and scholarship aid. The estimate is based on what similar students paid in a previous year.

By clicking below, I acknowledge that:

The estimate provided by this calculator does not represent a final determination or actual award of financial assistance.
The estimate is based on cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in a prior year.
Cost of attendance and financial aid availability are subject to change each year.

Please note:

The estimates generated by this calculator apply only to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. International students should contact the school directly for assistance.
Personal information is not required to use this calculator. However, by providing your contact information, you authorize Greenville University to communicate with you about additional academic and financial information.

What version of our calculator would you like to complete?

Longer: Provide answers to financial questions to calculate your SAI and net price. This provides a more accurate estimate to your expenses, aid, and out of pocket costs.

Shorter: Provide your SAI score or skip the calculation to save you time on getting a net price. This may be less accurate as to your expenses, aid, and out of pocket costs.

If you have completed a financial calculator in the past year that has provided you an estimated SAI, feel free to provide your score below (between -1500 and 999999):

Please provide a value between -1500 and 999999 or leave this field blank
