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
rockhurst is expensive, but they do offer a lot of scholarships to incoming freshman and the liberal arts, well rounded education that you recieve is worth the money.
Anna from Overland Park, KS
Although I love RU, I do have to admit that sometimes feel like I can't afford to go to school there. It is a private, Jesuit university so that automatically means that it is going to cost more than a state university, but I do wish it cost a little less to attend. I must admit that there are an exponentially large number of scholarships available for students seeking to attend Rockhurst University, so that's a plus! Student activity fees are definitely worth paying for because SAB (Student Activities Board) include free movie nights, catering, etc.

SO FAR I CAN AFFORD IT SO WERE GOOD
Michelle from Kansas City, MO
most students receive scholarships every year through the school, but need a bit more on top of that. personally, i think the quality of education and opportunities here are well worth the cost. i love this school so much that i refuse to transfer closer to home, even after getting married.
Elizabeth from Omaha, NE
Since RU is a private, Jesuit school, the tuition is more expensive than a public university. They offer TONS of financial aide though (96% in fact). You can also get additional scholarships elsewhere and the tuition is then cut down to just as much, if not less than public institutions. Also, just graduating from a university like Rockhurst looks excellent on a résumé for future careers and it makes future employers say Wow.
Heather from Kansas City, MO
Rockhurst is an expensive university and for some people that is a turn off but if you did well in high school you can get amazing scholarships to go here and the financial aid office is always willing to help. I would say it is definitely worth it.
