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
It's expensive, but is a pretty good deal for a private college. Tuition is subsidized by $10,000 across the board by donors.
Andy from Wheaton, IL
it's expensive, but you get what you pay for. also, wheaton college's financial aid department and the wheaton fund help many students pay their way for an education that would otherwise be out of reach.
Daniel from Wheaton, IL
Compared to many other private christian schools Wheaton is farely reasonable. Especially for the amount of time and dedication the professors take in to helping their students succeed. Also Wheaton awards a lot of aid money. Last year they awarded more than 12 million dollars to the 2,386 students.
Cassidy from Grand Haven, MI
While at first glance Wheaton may look expensive, it offers a very affordable financial aid package for those who need it.
Bethany
Wheaton's class sizes are small, which I find as a real strength. Basically, you can't hide in auditorium seating hoping that a teacher won't notice that you're not there or that you haven't read your assignment. If you attend Wheaton, there is no hiding. It is a school that is purposeful and strategic in doing everything to educate you while also encouraging students to participate and get involved.
Kevin from Seminole, FL
The need-based financial aid here is good, but merit-based aid is seriously lacking.
Jessica from Medford, OR
Even though Wheaton is expensive, it is worth every penny.
Natalie from Grabill, IN
Wheaton is expensive, but it prepares you well not just for a career after college, but for LIFE after college.
