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

Agnes really is worth the money you may (or may not) pay. For the most part the Financial Aid office is really generous and helpful. I don't know anyone who didn't get some form of help, be it merit or need. Because of the quality of the education and the reputation at Agnes, your degree can really take you places, be it grad school or the workforce.
Kristina from Thonotosassa, FL
You really pay for great education.
Ashley from Decatur, GA
It may not be cheap, but the personalized and competitive academics will get you ahead. There are so many study abroad and internship opportunities. An Agnes education is exactly whatever you put into it.
Brianna from Decatur, Georgia
Despite Agnes Scott's hefty price tag, 90% of students have half or more than half of their tuition covered by the school. A degree from Agnes Scott looks very impressive to graduate schools and the college has a 98% accptance rate.
Catherine
It is a liberal arts school, so not much on the science bits, but it does have a wide range of subjects to study. It's expensive, because they take very good care of the grass and have high-tech study rooms that students can use. They make us feel comfortable and feel like a student, rather than a number on paper.
Kimberly from Marietta, GA
this school is expensive, but it is absolutely worth it. it is glbtq-friendly, and the educational experience inside and outside of the classroom is unparalleled. there are also many clubs to be a part of, and all kinds of religious events on campus.
Alexaundra from Roswell, GA
They really try to help diminish the cost as much as possible. Just keep your grades up and work hard. The financial aid packages are awesome.
Anndrekia from Marietta, GA
Although Agnes Scott is expensive I could not imagine myself at any other school. It is definitely worth the money.
