    I hated the thought at paying as much as I have when I first started. I realized later though that through DWU scholarships, I am not really paying more than most public universities in larger states. It is well worth the cost for the personal attention in class.

    DWU Financial Aid is really good at giving scholarships where they're needed, so you get a good education for the price you pay.

    Tuition is high, but the school is private and the classes do challenge you. They also offer many scholarships.
