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

For 2024-25, Prescott College's published full-time undergraduate tuition was $33,960, with $530 in required fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. These are published charges before grants or scholarships, not an individual student's final bill.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $34,490 for 2024-25.
• Typical annual room and board charges: $8,744, consisting of $7,944 for a room and $800 for board.
• Reported books and supplies: $474.

Together, those reported amounts equal $43,708. That is a limited illustration, not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific costs would increase it. The unusually small reported board charge should not be treated as the cost of all meals without checking the actual dining arrangement.

Aid changes the picture, but not uniformly. In 2024-25 reporting, 96% of students received financial aid and 52% had student loans. The average undergraduate grant award across the reported aid sources was $18,444. Among students from families with annual income of $0-$48,000, the reported average net price was $19,587. Net price is an average after grant aid, not a quote for an applicant; students should compare their own aid offer with the college's current cost-of-attendance budget and identify which parts of an offer are grants and which are loans.

Eligible students may be able to use federal grants and loans, institutional assistance and qualifying military education benefits. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the usual starting point for federal aid. Applicants should check Prescott's current scholarship criteria and aid deadlines rather than assuming that receiving aid will cover the full published cost.

What are the work-study opportunities at Prescott College?

Prescott students may be able to combine study with paid work, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award and internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students; an award establishes a potential earnings limit rather than putting the full amount on a student's account at the start of a term.

Students interested in work should ask financial aid whether they qualify for Federal Work-Study and where Prescott posts available positions. They should also check whether jobs are open to students without that award. Field placements and internships may build experience but should not be assumed to be paid; Prescott does not require an internship of every student.

For longer-term planning, reported career services include résumé help, interview workshops, career counseling, job listings, job fairs and on-campus employer recruitment. An applicant with a specific career goal should ask how those services operate for students in online or low-residency programs as well as for those on campus.
