Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
I was not worried about price when I was looknig for colleges so that had no weight on my decision. It is kind of pricy here, but I think it is very, very much worth it! You can also get a campus job to help out with that cost and there are plenty of opportunities for scholarships if you look for them!
Ashley from Hopedale, IL
What you get at Bluffton is more than an education-- it is an experience. Bluffton combines academic excellence and tight-knit community, and that is worth every penny. Scholarships for incoming freshmen are impressive, but scholarship offerings for high-achieving transfer students could be greatly improved.
Katie from Gibsonburg, OH
Bluffton does have a high sticker price but through scholarships and grants the price is not bad.
