Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

The cost for attendance at the College of Menominee Nation is slightly higher than a new sedan. All cost categories put together in the estimate include tuition, books, supplies, rent, utilities, food, and other various charges. The total estimated sticker price is $17,684.

If, as a beginning student, you are eligible for financial aid, this can bring the price down quite a bit. During a recent school year, the average net price (the cost to the student after financial aid is applied) was $6,828. The college also tracks the net price by income since most financial aid is awarded by a family’s annual income. Families earning between $30,001 and $48,000 paid around $6,511. Those earning between $75,001 and $110,000 paid around $11,843.

About 93% of freshman students in a recent year were eligible for financial aid. This same percentage received an average of $6,976 in grants or scholarships and 35% received $1,067 on average in institutional grants and scholarships.

Academics

Living, working, and going to school in a relatively rural area, you find that a job might be needed to help you to pay for gas, food, and rent, along with other bills. Because students can’t live on-campus, you’ll also need to find a place to rent that is close to the campus. If you have time conflicts with any job or between classes, you’ll be happy to know that the college offers both evening classes and distance (online) learning.

If you return to the school after your freshman year, you’ll become a part of the retention rate. This is how schools track how many students return for their sophomore year and is considered an excellent way to determine whether or not the school offers everything students need to thrive. At CMN, the retention rate is 100%. The overall graduation rate is 27%.

As with many freshman college students, you may still be considering your major. The most popular degree programs offered at CMN are education; business, management, marketing and related support services; and public administration and social service professions.

Outcome & Salary

High school graduates generally don’t earn as much as college graduates. Let’s compare. A high school graduate’s national average salary is $38,792. Their 10-year projected income is $387,920 and their 20-year projected income is $775,840.

Now, let’s look at CMN graduate’s average salaries, which are $61,500. This makes their 10-year salary earning potential $615,000. If you then subtract the 4-year cost of education from this amount ($27,312 on average), this brings their 10-year projected return on investment (ROI) to $587,688.
