Costs & Aid
You could spend more than $60,000 per year at a private college to get the high caliber of education Evergreen offers. Beyond cost, no other college prepares you better for the way the world really works, unlocking lifelong opportunities for success in careers, service, graduate school, and beyond.
We encourage all students to apply for scholarships & tuition awards and financial aid every year, which will help reduce tuition costs.
Evergreen participates in the Western Undergraduate Exchange, which can help residents of sixteen Western states and territories reduce tuition by over 60%.
Graduate degrees in Environmental Studies, Public Administration, and Teaching have different costs, financial aid, and scholarship processes.
Got Credits?
Evergreen’s unique curriculum makes us one of the most transfer-friendly colleges in the nation. Most likely, we can transfer nearly every credit you’ve earned at another institution or through exams such as AP and IB, saving you time and money in earning your bachelor's degree.
