Tuition and Fees
When evaluating college costs, it's important to compare the sticker price (how much a college charges) with the net price that you will pay after receiving financial aid.
99% of Houghton students are awarded financial aid each year. The average amount of Houghton financial aid a Houghton student receives is approximately $19,000. This figure does not include loans, federal, state or other forms of aid–it only includes scholarships and grants from Houghton College!
