Sterling College-Kansas

What is the cost of studying for a year at Sterling College-Kansas?

For 2024-25, Sterling College's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $31,500, with $2,200 in required fees. The published in-state and out-of-state figures were the same. Housing, meals, books, transportation and personal expenses are additional considerations.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $31,500.
• Required undergraduate fees: $2,200.
• Typical room and board charges: $9,870.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,383.

Those four reported items total $44,953 for an academic year; that calculation does not include transportation or personal spending and is not every student's official cost-of-attendance budget. A commuter, a student in a different housing arrangement or someone attending part time could have a different expense profile.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported figures, average net price was $19,236 for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less, and $21,975 for the next reported income band, $48,001-$75,000. These are group averages, not individual aid offers. All students in the reported aid measure received some form of financial aid, while 49% had student loans; aid can include borrowed money that must be repaid.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, applicable state assistance and institutional scholarships. A student comparing offers should complete the required financial-aid application, review Sterling's award terms and calculate the remaining cost using grants and scholarships separately from loans and wages.

What are the work-study opportunities at Sterling College-Kansas?

Sterling students may pursue part-time work alongside their studies, but a campus job should not be treated as automatic financial aid. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, provides the opportunity to earn wages through qualifying work; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of the term.

Students should ask the financial-aid office whether they qualify for Work-Study and where current campus or approved off-campus openings are posted. A regular part-time job can be an option for students without Work-Study eligibility, although its hours and pay are set by the employer rather than by an aid award. Internships serve a different purpose - academic or career experience - and may have separate credit and compensation rules.
