Clinton College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Clinton College?

For 2024-25, Clinton College reported the same published full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students: $10,936. Required fees were reported separately. Tuition alone is not the full annual cost of attendance.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $10,936 for in-state or out-of-state students.
• Reported required undergraduate fees: $200.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $13,500.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,200.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $400 per credit hour.

Students should also budget for transportation and personal expenses. Housing and dining charges are relevant to a student using those services, not an automatic bill for every commuter. Because an individual aid offer and living arrangement can change the result, adding selected published charges is not a substitute for the college's current, student-specific cost-of-attendance estimate.

Financial aid can reduce the amount a student pays without reducing the published price. IPEDS 2024-25 figures show that 97% of students received financial aid and 89% had student loans; the average reported undergraduate grant award was $9,534. Loans must generally be repaid, unlike grants. Reported average net prices also varied by family-income group - for example, $11,999 for the $0-$48,000 group and $6,854 for the $48,001-$75,000 group - so an income bracket is not a personal price quote. Applicants should complete the FAFSA, review eligibility for federal and South Carolina aid and college scholarships, and compare the resulting offer with their full expected budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Clinton College?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program when offered to an eligible student; an award typically permits the student to earn wages through an approved position rather than delivering the full amount as an upfront grant.

Applicants should ask Clinton College's financial-aid office whether they qualify for Work-Study, how available positions are posted, and whether a job offer is required after receiving an aid award. They can separately ask about other campus jobs and off-campus employment. A paid position may provide useful experience, but its hours and earnings should not be assumed when calculating how to cover a semester's bill.
