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.
$25,880
Out-of-State Tuition Out-of-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who do not 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

Some students complain about the price,but financial aid is available.
Michael from Norfolk, VA
A lot of kids here complain about the price, as long as you apply for scholarships, and do your financial aid, then you are okay.
Pheadra from Petersburg, VA
I believe that Chowan is definitely worth the cost. A lot of people look at the cost of school and believe that they can not afford it, but the secret about Chowan is there are always scholarship opportunities. There are always ways for you to receive money from the school. If you utilize your resources there will always be a way, in the long run I believe that it is definitely worth the cost. Any higher education is worth the cost, because the ending benefits surpass the cost.
Ammaris from Durham, NC
The tuition is not expensive for out of state tuition.
Yevette from Murfreesboro, NC
Chowan is fairly expensive. Apply for as many scholarships as you can. The financial aid office does raise your scholarship money if you do well in your classes so keep those grades as high as possible.
