Costs and Financial Information
For the 2008-09 academic year, tuition and fees are $34,030, and room and board charges are $6,814. We estimate books, supplies and personal expenses at $1,850. Travel expenses vary from student to student. If the student is not covered by a parent’s health insurance, s/he must enroll in the student health insurance plan which costs $199 per year (this figure is subject to change). There is also a $250 Enrollment Deposit collected with your acceptance of admission to Earlham.
Earlham’s tuition and fees are fixed once they are set each year by the Board of Trustees. The charges are the same for in-state and out-of-state residents. Room and board costs can be reduced very slightly by selecting a meal (board) plan which costs less. A student may be able to buy used books instead of new ones. Personal expenses will depend on a student’s interests and their own budgeting skills. Keep in mind that many activities on Earlham’s campus (concerts, sporting events, etc.) are free for students. For many families, applying for financial aid is the most effective way to “cut” college costs.
