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 do think that Hillsdale is worth the cost to attend. If I didn’t I would go back to a college that is much cheaper back at home in Idaho. It is a private college and the education received at Hillsdale is very much compatible with that of other colleges. This may not matter to some, but to others like myself who are coming from out of state it may, but there is not an out of state tuition. That caught my attention coming from out of state. Hillsdale is definitely “Bang for the buck.”

The school is somewhat expensive, but 89% of students recieve financial aid. This makes the school much cheaper, sometimes only in the low thousands. You get a great learning experience for the knowledge that these professors teach you.
