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
A fairly expensive college for the area, but they do offer large scholarships for students with good grades. Also, it is consistently ranked in the top ten colleges in America. They say that a McKendree degree is worth more than other schools due to the quality of education.
Matt from Belleville, IL
McKendree is a bit of a pricey school, I'll admit. BUT, it offers SO MANY SCHOLARSHIPS! And, the school offers quite a few free programs that would not be if not for the tuition, and ARE not free at other schools in this area. McKendree has been voted one of the best value colleges in the country this year (like it has for the past few years now).
Chelsea from Albers, IL
McKendree University is a little bit more expensive than some colleges, but with all that it offers, it's worthwhile.
Redell from Edwardsville, IL
You pay a lot , but you get it all back in free resources (nurse, career advising, tutoring, writing center) and in the value of your degree.
Chelsea from Highland, IL
The school is a little on the expensive side, but it is worth it and ot looks really good on your resume after graduation.
