Cost of Attendance
In order for the Financial Aid Office to determine your financial need, we must first establish the costs associated with attending Century College for an academic year. Tuition figures are estimated until approved by the Minnesota State Board.
All budget items shown are for nine months and full-time attendance (15 credits per term). Students attending less than full-time are eligible for financial aid; however budget, expected family contribution and maximum awards may be adjusted for less than full-time attendance.
