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
Although Cornerstone is a bit more than a public university, the financial aid office works really well with all student situations to make it possible to attend. I am paying my own way, so if it were not for the scholarships and help from the financial aid office, I would not be able to attend Cornerstone today. It is worth every dollar.
Nicole from Rockford, MI
The school is a little more expensive than most schools in the area; however, education wise- the money is used great! The food is a hit and miss, so i wish the money i spent helped more with that, but what can you do? All cafeterias can be a little iffy sometimes. The dorms are nice and cozy and they are in the middle of deciding to put more dorm buildings on campus.
Madison from Laguna Niguel, CA
It is worth every penny. Christian education can be the greatest thing to pay for. You could pay more for a Christian education.

compared to a lot of other schools offers and tuition prices, i think you can get a lot more out of attending cornerstone university.

In spite of the cost, I have to say it is definitely worth it. The effect it will have on your life is priceless, and it is a good investment not only for your education, but also for the difference it will make on the rest of your life. Plus, there are quite a few scholarships and grants available that help considerably with the extra cost.
