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
Skidmore College is an expensive institution, but people are getting their money’s worth because the education is excellent. According to the college, it costs $63,000 to educate each student, but the tuition is a little over $52,000. There is state of the art technology in business and science building and services are great and well funded. Classes are generally comfortable and small and the environment is well maintained.
Rasheed from Brooklyn, NY
It's expensive, but well, well worth it! Some of my classes have only 7 students, so I get plenty of one-on-one time with the professors. The professors genuinely care about their students. Their office hours are plentiful and they often like to meet students outside of class for coffee or even to babysit! Everyone is professional. The health services is wonderful. The Skid Shop has almost all of the books and the library has a wide selection of books and movies that are free to rent. The food is also amazing!
Taylor from Waterboro, ME
Skidmore is VERY expensive. In the past few years, it has even been named one of the 10 most expensive schools in the country. The school does offer great financial aid to students from very low incomes. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for those from Middle class and above. Because of this, a lot of the student do come from very wealthy families.
Jason from Fairborn, OH
Skidmore is very good with their financial aid, so no matter what economic bracket you are in you will not pay much more than you can afford. Skidmore also has two merit scholarships, one is for music and one is for math and science. Your tuition goes to continuing great academics, making Skidmore more sustainable, funding fun events, keeping dorms nice, creating awesome food at D-Hallm, and much much more.
Emma from Bath, ME
Skidmore college is expensive but 55% of our students receive financial aid, so that is an option if you are eligible
