*These items are not billed to the student account but are estimates of out-of-pocket expenses.

Billing

The total amount of financial aid in the form of scholarships and loans cannot exceed the total cost of attendance for an academic year. The student account is billed for fall and spring terms separately with costs and financial aid being split over the two billings. Other optional academic terms such as winter and summer online sessions and January and May Intersession are also billed separately and are not directly eligible for financial aid.

Health Insurance

As a matter of College policy, all full-time students (12 credits or more) must annually demonstrate proof of health insurance coverage status in order to attend Grove City College. For those students without alternative coverage, the College partners with UnitedHealthcare to offer a Student Injury and Sickness Plan. The cost of annual coverage for 2024-25 is $2,059 which is not considered part of the cost of attendance.

Four-year Cost Projection
