    Because Soka offers the Soka Opportunity Scholarship (which covers tuition) for households that make under $60,000 a year, this is truly a place to go to have an amazing experience without worrying about how to pay for tuition. Everyone here gets financial aid.

    It is really expensive but the financial aid is great. Anyone who's family makes under $60,000 a year gets free tuition and many other perks too.

    Tuition is very expensive, but Soka is very generous with scholarships and financial aid. The Soka Opportunity Scholarship pays full tuition for students whose parents' income is $60k or less. Academic scholarships are awarded as well, and can be combined with the opportunity scholarship. Five full scholarships (Tuition, Room+Board, Incidentals, 4-yr) are awarded every year to incoming freshmen.

    I cannot believe I am paying so much money for this kind of an education. If any of you are concerned about money, DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL. What is there to gain? A degree with no connections to the real world? A degree that gets you into grad school? Well you can get into grad school with a degree from a state school that is MUCH cheaper. I'm telling you, this school is all glammed up for nothing. The beautiful architecture is what captures students and locks them into a fake little bubble of delight.
