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?
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 $21 million in scholarships and grants last year.

In addition to an outstanding educational and student experience, a Hastings education includes so much more.
Your Place Matters — Your transition from college to a career begins your first semester. Every class, internship, research study and activity adds up. We love to celebrate all the ways you shine!
Maximize scholarships — Yes, you’ll get an academic scholarship. But you’ll also get a “plus one” scholarship from the group, team or area you’re part of. It’s a great way to help pay for school — and find your people.
Our focus on internships and career preparedness means you’re career-ready — or prepared for grad school. The proof? 96% of recent grads are employed or in grad school.
Hastings College is committed to using the Principles & Standards of the College Cost Transparency Initiative in our student financial aid offers.
