Cornerstone University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Cornerstone University?

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Cornerstone was $22,000, with $1,000 in required fees. The reported undergraduate tuition was the same for Michigan residents and out-of-state students. Tuition is only one part of the annual budget.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $22,000 for 2024-25.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,000 for 2024-25.
• Typical annual room and board: $12,500, comprising reported room and board charges.
• Reported books and supplies: $700.

Those items total $36,200, but this is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges can add to it. Room and board also depend on a student's housing and meal arrangements. Graduate tuition, part-time charges, and online-program pricing should be checked separately rather than inferred from the full-time undergraduate figure.

The published price is not necessarily what a student pays after aid. In the reported aid data, the average net price was $17,674 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $23,135 for families above $110,000. Those are averages for defined groups, not individual offers. All students in the reported aid measure received some form of financial aid, while 52% had student loans; receiving aid therefore does not necessarily mean avoiding debt. Eligible students can explore federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, and loans through the financial-aid process, beginning with the FAFSA where applicable. A personalized aid offer is the appropriate basis for comparing Cornerstone with another college.

What are the work-study opportunities at Cornerstone University?

Cornerstone students may look for campus employment and career-related work, but a paid student job, Federal Work-Study, and an internship are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid awarded to eligible students; it generally requires the student to obtain a qualifying job and earn wages through work.

Applicants interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA and review their aid offer for an award, then ask the financial-aid or student-employment office how available positions are advertised. A Work-Study award is not the same as cash automatically credited to a bill. Students who do not receive that award may still be able to apply for ordinary part-time positions, subject to openings and employer requirements.

Cornerstone reports internship-related requirements and career services, including résumé preparation, interview workshops, and employer connections. Because internship arrangements can vary by major, students should confirm whether their program requires one, whether it carries credit, and whether the positions available to them are paid.
