We Keep Costs Low
So Our Students Can Soar
Here’s something you don’t see every day: a small, private college lowering tuition and keeping it that way.
But that’s exactly what Belmont Abbey College did in 2013: We reset tuition, reducing it by 33% for all students. To this day, the cost of tuition at the Abbey remains $18,500 a year. We did this for a very simple reason: When tuition is affordable, families need to borrow less money, and students have the freedom to pursue their dreams without a heavy price tag weighing on their minds.
The results of our tuition reset have been amazing.
Increased enrollment means that more students are taking advantage of the tuition reset, while also knowing that the Abbey offers aid to more than 90 percent of our student body. An increase in revenues following the tuition reset allowed us to create the Honors College, which provides an exceptional exploration of the Great Books and modern life. All of this was done while maintaining small class sizes that foster strong faculty-student relationships.
Most importantly, the tuition reset has ensured that those who want an outstanding education and a foundation for personal and professional success based on the Benedictine tradition can have it at Belmont Abbey College.
