Tuition

A college education is the best investment you can make in life. Prescott College tuition compares favorably to other private institutions. When you consider the enormous benefits of a Prescott College education -- personalized attention; small class size; unique and self-designed degree programs; and extensive field-based experiences -- Prescott College tuition is an extremely rewarding long-term investment.

Prescott College makes every attempt to ensure that all qualified students can attend and assists them in finding financial aid, given individual eligibility. The financial aid process begins with filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This is a free application and is available online, in addition to various other public locations. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.
