Scholarships

The Regents Scholars Awards
¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹University's Regents Scholars Program is incredibly competitive and based on the holistic review of the application process. Only the top 8%-10% of the admitted class are selected to receive this award. Students are evaluated on their academic merit, as defined by their unweighted recalculated GPA, and transcripts which show course rigor and trends. As admission to ¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹is already highly selective, scholarship recipients are exemplary students and have earned the highest combination of GPA and academic excellence in the incoming class. Regents Scholars Program scholarships are renewable for as many as four years or eight semesters total. Regents' scholars and Blanche E. Seaver Scholars must maintain a 3.25 ¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹cumulative GPA, full-time status and may not be placed on academic probation while at Pepperdine.

Graduate Students
The following costs are based on expenses for the first 12 months of your program of study. All expenses are estimated costs for the first full year of your academic program and calculated for the purpose of the issuance of the Form I-20 which is required to obtain your F1 student visa.
- Tuition is based on the tuition cost per unit rate for the 2023-24 academic year and the estimated total units for the first full year of each academic program.
- Living costs are estimated expenses that include housing and food calculated for the first full year of your academic program.
- Other costs are estimated expenses that include books, supplies, transportation, personal expenses, the University wellness fee and health insurance for the first full year of your academic program.
Note: If you have a dependent, please add $1,000 per mont for each dependent ($12,000 for the first full year of study) to the total cost of attendance. All rates are subject to change.
