Hi guys, I recently got my acceptance letter from Vassar College and I'm beyond thrilled. However, I need to get a clearer picture of the expected tuition and other related costs. Can any current or former students help me out here?
Congratulations on your acceptance to Vassar College! As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the comprehensive fee for attending Vassar College—which includes tuition, room, board, and student activities fee—is around $85,220.
The tuition fee alone is roughly $66,870. Room and board costs approximately $17,415 but can vary depending on the housing option you select. Assorted student fees are $935.
However, bear in mind that these are sticker prices. Vassar is known for its generous financial aid, and about 60% of students receive some form of need-based financial aid. The average award is around $50,800. If you're eligible, this can significantly decrease the cost.
To get an estimate of your net cost, you can use Vassar’s Net Price Calculator, which will give you an idea of the amount of financial aid you might be eligible for based on your particular family circumstances and income.
Remember, the final aid package can include scholarships, grants, work-study, and student loans. Congratulations again, and best of luck as you navigate the next steps!
