Tuition & Fees

A college education is one of the most important investments you and your family will make. At Menlo College, we are dedicated to making that investment affordable. With an average financial aid package of $36,000 per year, 99% of our students receive some form of assistance—whether through merit-based scholarships, grants, low-interest loans, or on-campus work opportunities. Please note: The information on this page applies to undergraduate students. Graduate student tuition information can be found on individual graduate program pages.

We strongly encourage you to use our Net Price Calculator (NPC) to see how much you may qualify for. The NPC will provide an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs, and many students are pleasantly surprised at how affordable a Menlo education can be.

For a personalized estimate or if you have questions, our Financial Aid Office is here to help. You can schedule a call with our team here. We’re happy to guide you through the options available and help make Menlo a reality for you.

Tuition Insurance

Each year thousands of college students are unable to complete classes for the semester due to unforeseen medical issues such as illness, accidents, or mental health-related issues. An optional insurance program is available to help refund your tuition, fees, and room/board charges (up to the annual policy limits) if you are unable to complete the semester due to a covered medical reason. This insurance program complements and enhances Menlo College’s refund policy. Visit GradGuard™ for additional information.
