Great Lakes Christian College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Great Lakes Christian College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Great Lakes Christian College was $17,970, with $1,550 in required fees. The published tuition rate was the same for in-state and out-of-state students, making tuition and required fees $19,520 before living and other expenses.

• Full-time tuition and required fees: $19,520 for 2024-25.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $10,400.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,100.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $599 per credit hour.

Adding those reported tuition, fee, room-and-board, and book figures gives $31,020. That is a limited illustration, not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and student-specific costs may add to it. A commuter's housing and food costs will differ from a resident's.

Financial aid can reduce the amount a student pays, but loans must generally be repaid. In the 2024-25 aid figures, all students in the reported aid population received some form of financial aid, while 51% had student loans; the average reported undergraduate grant award was $12,787. Reported average net prices also differed by family income. Applicants should compare their own aid offer and housing plan with the college's current cost-of-attendance budget rather than subtracting the average grant from the published price as if it were a personal award.

What are the work-study opportunities at Great Lakes Christian College?

Students seeking a campus job should ask Great Lakes Christian College's financial aid and student-services offices how positions are posted and whether a particular opening is funded through Federal Work-Study or another employment budget. A financial aid award alone does not place a student in a job.

Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a need-based aid program in which wages are earned through work; it is not an upfront tuition discount. Ordinary part-time jobs and internships follow different hiring and academic rules. Students interested in work related to ministry or another major should also ask whether an opportunity is paid, carries academic credit, or serves only as volunteer experience. The college does not require an internship of every student, although an individual program may set its own experiential requirements.
