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
It's simple: Kish is a community college. There's no dorm to pay for and its inherently cheaper because it is a community college. Tuition itself can be paid for by a few scholarships and it saved me personally $27,000 a year ($50,000+ total!) to avoid a private university and in this case, you get more than what you pay for.
Nicholas from Oregon, IL
If you want to take your general education classes for a cheaper price than that of a university Kishwaukee is the place to do it. My two years of school at Kish are going to end up costing all together what one semester at a university would cost.
Brittany from Genoa, IL
kishwaukee college is very affordable and the smart way to go when you are starting your applications.
Mia
kishwaukee is incredibly cheap for the quality of its education. even just a standard pell grant will probably cover your entire tuition even if you're taking fifteen hours of courses. the value is absolutely incredible.
