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.

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

...long story short, great opportunities, hefty price tag. i'm currently struggling to pay my remaining first year tutition, but if you get lucky like me and you recieve a really generous financial aid package (the majority of my first year's tuition is paid) you'll only have to pay a little bit. there's tons of merit based aid and really good scholarships at guilford.

College is an investment, if you really want to invest in your education and future Guilford is definitely worth your buck.
Jodie-Ann from Brooklyn, NY
Guilford College do lots of activities for the campus community where everyone's activity budget go towards every year. Guilford will always try to find help if there is any financial problems and they won't do anything the student body wouldn't want them to do. It's the voice of the students at Guilford that say it all!
