Anchored Tuition Pledge
Introducing the Anchored Tuition Pledge, our assurance to hold tuition in place, at one rate with each incoming class. By “anchoring tuition,” our students pay the same tuition rate for the duration of their education at Hope. The tuition rate they start with is the tuition rate they end with.
By creating tuition rate stability, Hope College addresses affordability and accessibility so our families can plan their personal budgets with confidence from their student’s first semester to the last.In 2022-23, here is how the Anchored Tuition Pledge will work for incoming students (first time at Hope) — The tuition rate will be $37,990. This tuition rate will remain the same for a student’s time at Hope.
* Eligibility for aid is reassessed on a year-to-year basis. Need-based financial aid awards can fluctuate.
**Room and board and feescannot be guaranteed from year-to-year and could vary with inflation.
