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
I'm not sure what Bang for the buck means but I'm kind of thinking that it means the financial part here at Menlo. Menlo is an expensive school here because it is a small school & it is in one of the richest cities in the nation. But the pros for coming to Menlo due to it being so pricey are the education that it offers which I had explained earlier, the school events that are always going on around campus, and also the scholarships they offer you. You can come to Menlo usually all on academic scholarships. They give you a good amount of money for you to come here at Menlo to learn how to come an entrepreneur & own your own business one day.
Kamalu from Lahaina, HI
Of course! Menlo College is the Stanford quality education without the Stanford price. (most full-time professors posses a Graduate degree from Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, Yale, etc.)
O.S from Hoboken, NJ
Menlo College is a private small college, as a result it is very pricey. However, they do offer many scholarships. The people that you get to meet, the professors that teach, and the opportunities that this college offers you is well worth the price.
Alesi from Atherton, CA
This is an expensive, but Menlo College does help us out a lot with scholarships, grants, and jobs on campus that make the payment process through your four years here a lot easier. You are also able to get all the classes you want unlike state or UC colleges that can barely offer you three classes a year.
Cameron from Sacramento, CA
I think Menlo College is a bang for your buck yes the school is expensive but the resources that are provided make up for the cost. Through out the school year there are plenty of giveaways of free Menlo gear, free food, free printing, free backpacks, free tutoring, tavern card (free beer 21+ on Thursdays) everything that the school puts one besides the two major dances are free for all students and even the day students get to eat in the cafeteria throughout the year free on certain days. (And all sporting events are free for students)
Charnae from San Diego, CA
I think it will pay off because you are getting a higher education and you know that you will have a lot of help.
Dahniqua from Dallas, GA
This is a pretty expensive school, but the education and friends you meet are worth it! Based on your High School GPA, they give you money from the start! So the higher your GPA, the more money you get!
