Paying for College: Estimate What Your Degree Will Cost

The tuition you pay can depend on many factors, such as the type of degree you are working toward, what type of student you are, what location you attend or what modality the classes are offered. Additionally, there can also be other fees added on, including enrollment fees, room and board, parking and the price of textbooks.

While financing your degree can seem overwhelming, Webster will help you both understand the funding needed and different methods used to finance your degree. Office of Financial Aid staff members are available to assist you in understanding the overall cost of attendance for Webster, as well as any scholarships, grants and college loans you may have been offered. You may schedule a virtual or an in-person appointment with a counselor.
