Financial Assistance

Whitefield College students are not eligible for FAFSA, PEL, or other U.S. taxpayer subsidized loans and grants. The tuition fees charged by Whitefield are commensurate with the provision of a quality curriculum suitable for extension study. Typical tuition for private on-campus programs run around $280 per credit hour, thus the cost of an average degree, including board and meals, can easily amount to $60,000 or more. Compare this to $9,000 for tuition at Whitefield College and the financial advantage of home-college comes into sharp focus!

In the event of genuine, demonstrable hardship, or change of circumstances while a student is enrolled, the college will do its best to make arrangements with the student that will allow him or her to continue with their studies. However, no degree or transcript can be issued until all accounts are settled in full.
