This might be a basic question, sorry, but folks, what's the current tuition for Calvin College? I am trying to plan my budget, and I really want to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Any insights, especially from current or former students, would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! No need to apologize, planning finances ahead and avoiding surprises is really smart. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the published tuition fee for Calvin College (which is actually Calvin University, which rebranded in 2019) is about $39,350 for the full academic year. This is only for tuition though, it doesn't include any additional costs like room and board, books, and miscellaneous fees.
That being said, it's really important to note that the sticker price isn't what most students end up paying. Financial aid, scholarships, and grants can really bring this cost down for many students. I recommend using Calvin University's net price calculator available on their website to get a more accurate estimate tailored to your financial situation (https://calvin.edu/admissions/financial-aid/calculator). It considers factors like your family's income, your academic record, and your potential eligibility for merit scholarships.
It might also be helpful to know that 100% of first-year students receive some form of financial aid. Best of luck with your planning, and I hope this info was helpful for you!
