Cost of Attendance
Hastings College is one of the top schools in the nation and Midwest and our professors rank among the best in the country. Yet Hastings has also been named a “Best Buy in College Education” and named one of the country’s most affordable private colleges.
Why?
Every Hastings College student
receives financial aid.
Because every student benefits from our robust scholarship and financial aid program and our graduates get hired or accepted to graduate and professional schools! Students received more than $18 million in scholarships and grants last year — and 98% were employed or continuing their education within six months of graduation.
