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.

What Students Are Saying
Don't let the price attached to Converse get you down. There's a reason U.S. News & World Report ranked Converse the best value in the south. The Financial Aid department is incredibly helpful, and the Converse community offers several opportunities to earn scholarships, the price dwindles before you know it!
Margaret from Spartanburg, SC
Converse is expensive, but it's worth it.
Kayla from Inman, SC
With what I paid to attend this college I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. I was availed to many amenities without any extra fees, and there were numerous events almost every day that I was able to attend such as movies, parties, concerts, comedians and acrobatic shows.
Miranda from Orlando, FL
Converse is expensive, but it is totally worth it. The Financial Aid office is always willing to work with you.
Jordan from Little River, SC
Thought it is nice that the tuition has dropped, some of us that would have had more scholarships before are a little bitter. I, for example, would have actually had to pay less before the tuition drop and it's very frustrating.
However, it is a great price for a private education experience.

Converse, a private women's college with an award winning model program, unbelievable comprehensive special education and deaf education program, lowered its tuition by 43%. It made the New York Times. This institution is for its students, and they certainly learned that with the tuition drop.
Victoria from Murrells Inlet, SC
remember scholarship applications, scholarship applications, scholarship applications! while converse may seem too expensive, it is not! a quality education, beautiful campus, and exciting school events all make the price well worth it.
