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
Yes, expensive though but the education you will obtain is priceless and prosperous.
Michael from Columbia, SC
CLAFLIN IS VERY EXPENSIVE in my opinion. But its worth it. I strongly suggest anybody to do everything you have to do in high school, as far as grades wise and get scholarships. Me personally, I was the nerd out of my group and it paid off in the end. Also start looking for scholarships very early and do excellant on your SATS/ACTS !!!
Jaimie from Spartanburg, SC
For the most part, you get what you've paid for but when it comes to the dorms and everything, it can be a lot nicer for nearly $20,000. The Cafe also doesn't offer much like other colleges may. Overall, Claflin is nice.
Shaquai from Andrews, SC
Claflin also gives you a lot of opportunities to receive money for tuition. It's places on campus you can go to get help with scholarship money and money other things.
Kyree from Orangeburg, SC
Claflin University is worth the $21.000 each academic year. I am receiving a good education and will be earning a degree that is well worth it. I choose to stay at Claflin because I believe I am getting the best education at one of the top Historic Black Colleges in the country.
Crystal from Summerton, SC
