Wheaton College-Massachusetts

What is the cost of studying for a year at Wheaton College-Massachusetts?

Wheaton's published price is substantially higher than many students' eventual price after aid. For the reported 2024-25 undergraduate charges, full-time tuition was $63,240 and required fees were $720, the same reported amounts for in-state and out-of-state students.

Reported typical annual room and board charges were $17,100, with books and supplies estimated at $940. Added to that year's tuition and required fees, those items total about $82,000. This is an illustrative sum of reported charges and estimates, not a complete personal cost of attendance: transportation, personal expenses and other applicable costs can increase a student's budget. Students should not combine this 2024-25 sum with tuition published for a later year and treat it as one year's price.

Grant aid can change the comparison substantially, but averages do not represent every award. The reported average grant amount for undergraduate grant recipients was $45,440. Reported average net prices - estimated costs after grant and scholarship aid for the relevant students - ranged from $21,528 for families earning up to $48,000 to $33,956 for families earning above $110,000. Actual offers depend on a household's circumstances and aid eligibility; loans generally remain money to repay even when they appear in a financial aid package.

What are the work-study opportunities at Wheaton College-Massachusetts?

Wheaton students may seek campus employment, including jobs funded through Federal Work-Study for eligible students. A work-study award is permission to earn up to an offered amount through qualifying work; it is not an automatic payment or a guaranteed job.

Federal Work-Study eligibility is determined through the financial aid process, including the FAFSA, and students generally must find, apply for and perform a qualifying job to receive wages. Other campus jobs may be available without a work-study award, subject to hiring and available funds. Students should check the college's student-employment postings and payroll requirements before relying on anticipated wages to cover a bill due at the start of a semester.

Employment can also build experience, but a campus job, an internship and financial aid serve different purposes. Wheaton's career services include individual and group career planning, résumé and interview preparation, employer events, a job bank and alumni networking opportunities. Those services are available to support a search; they are not verified employment outcomes or a job guarantee.
