Worsham College of Mortuary Science

What is the cost of studying for a year at Worsham College of Mortuary Science?

For 2024-25, Worsham reported $25,000 in full-time undergraduate tuition and $1,000 in required fees for both Illinois and out-of-state students. That makes reported tuition and required fees $26,000 before living and other educational expenses.

The full cost of attendance can also include books and supplies, transportation, housing, food, and personal expenses. These costs vary substantially for commuters and students relocating to Wheeling; adding an assumed housing charge to tuition would not produce a dependable college-wide total. The reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $27,245. Net price is an average cost after grant aid for a defined group, not a personalized quote or a tuition figure.

Eligible students may be able to use grants, loans, and other aid to meet their costs. In 2024-25 reporting, 89% of students were recorded as receiving student loans, while the average grant award reported for undergraduates receiving grant aid was $6,263. Those measures describe different aid categories and should not be added together as though every student received both amounts. Request an individual aid offer and a complete expense estimate before deciding how much to borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Worsham College of Mortuary Science?

Paid work during school is different from the practical experience that may be required for a funeral service credential. A placement can provide professional exposure without necessarily being a paid student job.

Students seeking Federal Work-Study should ask Worsham's financial aid office whether it participates, how eligibility is determined, and what positions are actually open. Federal Work-Study generally depends on financial need and an available job; an aid offer does not make employment automatic. Students considering work at a funeral home should also ask whether its schedule and duties satisfy any academic training requirement and whether state rules restrict the work they may perform.
