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

For the 2025-26 reporting year, Kuyper College's published full-time undergraduate tuition was $28,750 for both Michigan and out-of-state students, with no required undergraduate fees reported in that measure. The reported part-time undergraduate charge was $1,170 per credit hour. These are published charges, not an individual student's final bill.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $27,660.
  • Required undergraduate fees in that reporting measure: $0.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition in that reporting measure: $1,170 per credit hour.

A separate, later published tuition figure is $28,750; it should not be combined with 2024-25 charges to create a single-year estimate. Housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses can add substantially to tuition. A reported room-and-board figure of $11,608 and books-and-supplies figure of $800 are useful planning benchmarks, but students should use one current, year-specific cost-of-attendance budget for their actual comparison.

Financial aid can change the amount paid. In the 2024-25 aid reporting, all students in the measured group received some form of aid, and the average grant award across reported grant sources was $26,626. Averages are not individual awards. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and review Kuyper's institutional scholarship requirements, along with applicable federal and Michigan aid. Grants generally do not require repayment; loans do. The college's financial aid offer, rather than its sticker price or an institutional average, is the appropriate basis for a household budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Kuyper College?

Students can use Kuyper College's career support to explore work and prepare for job searches. Reported services include individual and group career planning, résumé assistance, career-interest testing, a job bank, job fairs, employer recruitment, and opportunities to connect with alumni. Interview and job-placement support are also reported for undergraduates.

A part-time campus job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job, subject to eligibility and available positions; an ordinary student job does not require a Work-Study award. Students seeking paid work should check their aid offer, ask where current positions are posted, and confirm whether a particular position accepts Work-Study funding. Kuyper does not report an internship requirement for every student, though an individual major may have its own practical-training requirements.
