Tuition and fees

Choosing a college is a big decision — and understanding the true cost is essential. At St. Norbert College, our average financial aid award for full-time, first-year students is $37,000 (2025–26), which significantly reduces the overall cost of attendance. That means that most students pay far less than the published tuition price. This average includes both institutional scholarships/grants and external aid such as Pell Grants, SEOG and loans.

The average net cost for St. Norbert students is about $26,740 per year.

Net cost reflects tuition, fees, housing and food after scholarships and grants. Actual costs vary by student.

“I got a little over $19,000 in outside scholarships and that’s really gone a long way for me. I toured some other schools, but SNC always felt right to me. The initial price tag looked scary, but putting in a little bit of work to get scholarships I was able to come to my dream school.”
