Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

In-State Tuition In-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who meet the state's or institution's residency requirements. In-district tuition is the tuition charged by the institution to those students residing in the locality in which they attend school and may be a lower rate than in-state tuition if offered by the institution.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

The quality of education is good, and the food is exemplary.
Jeremiah from Watertown, WI
Come have a lot of fun and make Christian friends that will serve the Lord with you.
Liz
Overall, you get a very good experience for what the cost is. If I could make a suggestion to the college, it would only be to invest in some more things to do on campus. Those who do not have cars, or friends with cars, don't really get to do much.
Rachael from Watertown, WI
The best part about Maranatha is the environment on campus. Everywhere you walk people are always smiling and genuinely enjoying life. The people at Maranatha make it a priority to love others and treat others like Jesus Christ would treat them, which makes it an encouraging and enjoyable place to live in.
Dominique from Menomonie, WI
In my opinion Maranatha is work every penny!!!!! You can get scholarships from outside sources as well as school scholarships such as a work scholarship to help pay for college.
Amanda from Conneaut, OH
Ya know as far as the money side goes. You can't really put a price on learning about God.
Emily from Cody, WY
If you can afford it...than go here, however it is quite expensive and coming from someone who is paying for college herself...I'll probably graduate with quite a big debt...
Holly from Chetek, WI
expensive, but god provides.
Bryndal from Apple Valley, CA
It's very expensive.
