Bethel College-North Newton

What is the cost of studying for a year at Bethel College-North Newton?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Bethel College was $34,774, with $240 in required fees; the reported tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These are published charges before financial aid, not the amount every student pays.

• Tuition and required fees: $35,014 for the academic year.
• Typical room and board: $10,556 for the academic year.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,432 for the academic year.

Those reported items total $47,002. This is a subtotal, not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal spending, and any applicable program or course charges can increase the amount needed. A commuter's housing and food costs will also differ from the residential estimate.

Grants and scholarships can reduce the published price, while loans must generally be repaid. The reported average grant award to undergraduates was $21,634, but an average award is not an offer to a particular student and should not simply be subtracted from every student's bill. Reported average net prices also vary by family-income category; request an individualized aid offer and compare the amount left after grants and scholarships, separately from any loans or work earnings.

What are the work-study opportunities at Bethel College-North Newton?

Bethel students may pursue part-time employment while enrolled, but a campus job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program under which eligible students earn wages through approved jobs; being offered Work-Study does not itself place a student in a position or credit the full award to a tuition bill.

Students interested in Work-Study should submit the FAFSA, review their financial-aid offer, and ask the financial-aid office where approved positions are posted and how hiring works. Other on-campus or local part-time jobs may have different eligibility and funding rules. When comparing positions, students should consider scheduled hours, travel, and whether the work develops skills relevant to their intended field.

For longer-term career planning, reported services include individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview practice, job listings, employer recruiting, job fairs, and opportunities to contact alumni. Those services can support a search, but they are not verified job-placement outcomes. An internship is not reported as a requirement for every undergraduate.
