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
Since Cowley is a junior college of course it is cheaper. I feel that even though the cost has been minimized, you still get all the benefits. The advisers help you stay on track for the next school that you are planning to attend. And as I said earlier, the teachers work very well with the students. Also, Cowley puts on a lot of activities throughout the year. Many of which are free to the students attending CCCC. There are free movie nights, free bowling nights, and there are entertainers that come onto campus about once a month. We have had music artists as well as a hypnotists.
Alyssa from Wellington, KS
Yes definitely, the scholarships are great and the price for dorms are perfect.
Kechi, KS
I love the fact that I can get the same college experience at Cowley for the fraction of the price is amazing. Living at home for college was not the ideal situation for me, and the low cost of Cowley helped me get all the knowledge and have the college experience.
Mayrelee from Wichita, KS
The amount you pay is half the cost of most Colleges, and many students are on books and tuition scholarships which pays about half of all the costs.
