A Centre education is more affordable than you think—most students do not pay the full “sticker price.”

At Centre though, more than 90% of the students don’t pay this much.
Centre is consistently named one of the best values among the nation's top colleges. We believe that a transformative education should be within reach for everyone. That's why we're proud to meet 100% of your calculated financial need—it's called the Centre Promise. And with our commitment to helping you graduate in four years, you can enter your career or pursue further studies on time. The return on investment you get from Centre is a dividend that will pay you back for the rest of your life.
Centre will award over $47 million in scholarships and grants this year. Your out-of-pocket expenses are what we call the “cost after aid” — this cost will vary based on the amount of financial aid you are offered. Included in tuition, housing, and food is access to physical and mental health care at Centre’s Student Health & Counseling center. In addition, we estimate the average domestic student will spend about $4,090 for related expenses, such as books, transportation, and personal expenses, whereas international students can expect $5,740 in similar expenses including international student health insurance. The Student Fee helps to cover the rich co-curricular programs, services, performance, recreational activities and other events throughout the term which benefit students and complement our faculty-led instruction.
