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.

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

Because Rhodes is a private school, the cost to attend is rather high. However, Rhodes is great in giving incoming freshman scholarships, grants, and loans to help them afford attendance. Even with the high cost to attend, the quality of the academics and the numerous opportunities available at Rhodes makes the price worth it.
Richard from Frisco, TX
Rhodes is small learning community with highly dedicated and educated faculty willing to work with students one-on-one. Inside and out, the school looks like a castle straight out of a fairy tale (some even compare it to Hogwarts!) What is even more impressive is the push to get students more involved with the Memphis community, internships, and going abroad (Rhodes is known for having a large number of service-minded students).
Taylor from Memphis, TN
It's a great school: extremely beautiful, academically rigorous, and fun. It's still very costly, with tuition increasing every year.
Current Student
So far, I have had really great professors. I feel that I am getting what I expected and much more. The professors are really dedicated to their jobs and their students.
Akosua
It is expensive, but seemingly worth it.
