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
Very active campus, excellent education, many good places to eat, constant changes (new campus center being built right now)
Maria from Beachwood, NJ
As in state student, its a definite 5/5 for me. You get a great education for a mere $12,500 a year. Out of state tuition, however is more of a 3/5. $24,000 a year could be better spent on a higher quality university. And that price does not even include housing.
Angelica from Manchester, NJ
Although Stockton is a state school, it is still extremely expensive. But, on the bright side, it offers many amazing scholarships that aren't too hard to achieve.
Colleen from Ringwood, NJ
Stockton is a public state school. For those of us who live in New Jersey Stockton is a wonderful place to go to school. It has wonderful academics and many extracurriculars. Stockton is also becoming a University within the next year with multiple campuses, the newest being the recently closed ShowBoat Casino which will have classes, dining and dorms.
Jessalee from Trenton, NJ
Stockton is a great state school, and its one of the cheaper ones.
Brittany from Riverside, NJ
The main reason I am going to Richard Stockton College is because it is cheap. I pay very little to go here. Stockton offers many good scholarships to incoming students. There is no point in going to college if you are going to owe $50K plus in student fees. By the time I graduate college I will only owe $14,000 in student loans. My GPA is only a 3.4, so for many students the education might be free. There are plenty of ways to cut the cost down. Students can become RA's, this way their housing is free. Students can become tour guides for interested students. The guides get $2,500 off their tuition. Stockton gives plenty of opportunities to make your fees disappear before graduation.
George from Rochelle Park, NJ
Stockton is a very affordable school with exceptional facilities and academic opportunities. Work-study programs, and foundation scholarships provide students with alternative ways to pay tuition. It is easy to see just how and where every penny of tuition goes to providing students with some of the best facilities and opportunities in the region.
Trevor from Egg Harbor Township, NJ
Stockton has grown into a university from the time I attended in 2006-2010 when it was still Stockton College. I graduated at the time of the 2008 recession so jobs were scarce and unemployment was high. Although I didn't leave Stockton and immediately find a lucrative job, I left with a very well-rounded liberal arts education that I can appreciate today. I feel like my Stockton experience was only 50% about the classroom education, although I can confidently say that the professors were terrific. The other 50% of the Stockton experience for me was about living away from home and creating incredible friendships and life-long memories. Visit Stockton and you'll see that it's an awesome place! Living at Stockton is a completely different experience from the commuter student experience. I did both. LIVE AT STOCKTON.
