Tuition, Cost & Aid

The overall tuition of almost $35,000 may be overwhelming but because this is a private school we can help pay for a lot of that. A large majority of the students receive a presidential scholarship based on their high school GPA and ACT scores. Also the financial aid office works very well with you personally to help you with any special requests or circumstances.

Well, it is very expensive. This is because it is a private school; however, there are many scholarships available based on students' GPA and ACT scores. I must say, it has been worth my money so far. The professors that I have had so far have been knowledgeable of their subjects and even personable. I walked in one day to my class with a Starbuck's cup, and my teacher asked, Did you have a late night? I normally don't see you drinking coffee. And this true. I don't normally drink coffee! The point of that story is that everyone is great, and caring. (It also doesn't hurt that you can find a job on or off campus to help pay for your tuition or have that money so your parents don't have to worry about giving you money)!

When you look at the price tag, which is now over $36,000, it can be very intimidating. But Ashland does a good job of giving finincial aid and scholarships. If you go to their website and find the scholarship calculator, you can see how much your initial, academic scholarship will be when you plug in your grades and test scores. You'll get your financial aid letter in the spring, which is where you see exactly how much they will give you. I never thought that I would be able to afford to come here, but out of the 6 private schools in Ohio that I applied to, they gave the best financial aid package! So if money is a concern, I definitely encourage you to at least apply and see how your package comes back.
Personally, I fell in love with this school, and I think it's worth the expense. I know I'll be going in debt to go here, but I think it's worth that.

It is a private university so it is expensive, but with scholarships it is more affordable. I feel like the quality of the education, food, and housing are well worth the money.

I'm definitely satisfied with what I'm getting. It pays to have the professor feedback, the personal attention, and the undergraduate research experience.

Pretty expensive, but they do a great job with the amazing staff and supportive environment, despite the cost I will always recommend this school if asked to do so! The small class sizes are amazingly effective, I can get help at any time that I need it.

While Ashland is pretty expensive, the level of experience you get in your field and the quality of the education you will receive make it all worth it. Plus, they do a great job at helping you pay for your tuition as almost everyone receives money for their high school GPA and ACT/SAT scores.

Being a private college, it is a little more expensive than your average community college, but that is to be expected with the quality of the courses, materials for labs, and excellent professors, so I find that it is definitely worth it.

Tuition is a lot here, and I feel like I have to choke scholarships out of the financial aid office, but the campus is beautiful and I can see where the money is going.

Ashland is an expensive private university, however, they are very willing to help you with paying for college. If you let them know that you are not sure if you will be able to pay for college there, they will work with you to see what they can do about it.
