Hesston College

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

Hesston College's published charges are only a starting point for an annual budget. In IPEDS 2025-26 figures, full-time undergraduate tuition was the same for Kansas residents and out-of-state students; tuition and required fees together were $34,298.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $32,420 for the academic year.
• Required fees: $516.
• Typical room and board: $11,554 combined.
• Books and supplies: an estimated $1,400.

Adding those 2025-26 categories produces about $45,890 before transportation and personal expenses. This is an illustration based on the listed charges, not an individualized financial aid offer or a complete cost-of-attendance budget. The reported part-time undergraduate tuition charge was $1,350 per credit hour.

Grant aid can substantially change what a student pays. In the reported aid data, 100% of students received some form of financial aid, while 66% had student loans; a loan must generally be repaid. The average undergraduate grant award was $22,115, but an average award is not one every student receives. Reported average net price also varied by family-income group: it was $19,140 for families earning up to $48,000 and $27,809 for those earning $48,001-$75,000. Net price is an average after grant and scholarship aid, not a bill or a guarantee.

Eligible students may be able to combine institutional scholarships with federal or state grants, federal loans and qualifying military education benefits. Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the usual first step for consideration for federal aid. Applicants should compare their own aid offer with the current-year tuition, housing and program-specific expenses, particularly if their program requires clinical supplies or flight training.

What are the work-study opportunities at Hesston College?

Hesston students can explore campus employment and career preparation, but a part-time job should not be treated as guaranteed financial aid. Students interested in Federal Work-Study should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify, whether the program is offered for their aid year and how to apply for available positions.

Federal Work-Study, when awarded, is generally earned through eligible work rather than deducted from a tuition bill in advance. An ordinary campus job may have different eligibility rules, and an internship may be unpaid or carry academic credit instead of wages. Students should compare expected hours with class, laboratory, clinical or flight schedules before relying on work income in their budget.

For career exploration, the college reports individual and group counseling, résumé help, a career library, career-interest testing and opportunities to interview with employers. These services can help students prepare for a search, but they are distinct from a promise of a job after graduation.
