Since Stonehill is a private college, its tuition rates are higher than Massachusetts' public colleges and universities. However, the administration seeks to limit costs for students and offer healthy financial aid packages. Nevertheless, the base price for tuition, books, supplies, and fees is around $45,000 for a full-time student. When room, board, and other personal expenses are tallied, the gross price for a year at Stonehill College is $64,000 for an on-campus student and $59,000 for those living off-campus. These prices come down once financial aid kicks in.

Indeed, the average net price (the average cost after financial aid is applied) for Stonehill is dramatically less due to the fact that 100% of all students receive grants and scholarship money. That aid averages $25,000 per student and then 69% of students also cover costs by taking out student loans. The average net price for Stonehill thus comes down to $35,000 for full-time, first-year students.
