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
this school is worth every cent that i pay.
tia from Snohomish, WA
parking is a pain get there early.
Daniel from Bothell, WA
No one likes paying for textbooks. It's a fact of life. But when I think about how much it is actually costing me to do my first two years here at Edmonds as opposed to going straight to a four-year, it's an amazing difference. The registration fee is only $18, for cripes' sakes.
Another thing to consider is that the Office of Student Life makes many of the school events free or very cheap. There are small amenities, like free popcorn, a free game room, free drama events and movie showings, and everything at the welcome and spring festivals (including the food), are free as well. The school will put a lot of effort into making us students comfortable.
As far as the aforementioned housing goes, the prices for living can sometimes be higher than just finding an apartment in the area, but it is nice to have the option at least, and financial aid can help cut the costs if you are needing a place to stay.

For a community college, the tuition is fairly average, but there are always scholarships and grants that you can apply for to receive extra help.
Natalya from Lynnwood, WA
It is fair for the US citizens, but a bit too much for the international students to get out of their pocket.
Very good education for the money. After two years, I will be leaving with a degree, and heading for a four-year university to continue my education. I have worked through the summer to pay my way through these two years, so I will not have the student loans that many have that went straight to a four year. This was a good investment.
