Earning a degree from a private college is more affordable than you might think.
Centre is continually named a top value among liberal arts colleges, and we are committed to making our nationally ranked education affordable for students from all socio-economic backgrounds. Through generous scholarships and aid, a Centre degree is well within your financial reach.
Coming up with a “sticker price” is a complicated equation. On it’s face it breaks down like this:
| Tuition | $52,520 |
|---|---|
| Housing | $6,970 |
| Food | $6,970 |
| Student Fee | $300 |
| TOTAL | $66,760 |
Included in tuition, housing, and food is access to physical and mental health care at Centre’s Student Health & Counseling center. In addition, we estimate the average domestic student will spend about $4,090 for related expenses, such as books, transportation, and personal expenses, whereas international students can expect $5,740 in similar expenses including international student health insurance.
At Centre though, more than 90% of the students don’t pay this much. The Student Fee helps to cover the rich co-curricular programs, services, performance, recreational activities and other events throughout the term which benefit students and complement our faculty-led instruction.
Take a look at some scenarios:
Centre will award over $47 million in scholarships and grants this year.
Centre will award $50 million in NEW scholarships in the next ten years.
centre is ranked #7 in the nation for merit scholarship awards.
Centre College — named a best-value school by publications like Forbes, Kiplinger’s, and Money — has a lower sticker price than comparable institutions. And, with the average cost after aid, Centre is often more affordable than a four-year public college. Use our calculators to do your math.
