Hey to all, I am very curious about Caltech and its standards. I know it's highly competitive. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows about the tuition cost? It's a major factor for my family and me. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Hi there!
Caltech is a renowned institution known for its focus on science and engineering. Tuition fees are indeed a significant consideration for most families when planning for college. The current tuition cost for the academic year at Caltech is roughly around $63,402. When you factor in cost of living, such as room and board, books, transportation, and other personal expenses, the total cost of attendance comes to around $90,822.
However, please remember that the cost of attendance doesn't necessarily equal what you will have to pay out-of-pocket. Caltech is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students. So final costs can differ greatly depending upon your family's financial circumstances and the aid received.
You can estimate how much aid you might be eligible for by using the Net Price Calculator on Caltech's financial aid website. This tool will provide a more personalized estimate based on your family's financial situation. For more specific questions about financial aid, it can be helpful to contact the Caltech financial aid office itself.
Good luck with your college search!
