Many families ask what college costs and worry whether they can afford it. But cost is only one aspect of the overall value equation. What makes a good value in a college education is different for every family. At Beacon, we’re committed to providing added value through academic services, campus support systems, and personalized attention not available at other colleges — while remaining competitive and cost-effective. Apply New Students Parents Scholarships Financial Aid Fast Facts Annual tuition is competitive with other private colleges and universities nationwide. Our total, inclusive cost of attendance is significantly lower than that of other institutions — public and private — that serve students who learn differently. Beacon’s tuition includes myriad support services for students who learn differently which are additional costs at other institutions. Due to our specialized mission, costs may be offset through federal medical tax deductions and/or state vocational rehabilitation funding.

All students have the option of choosing a private bedroom (if available) for an additional cost. After their first year, students participate in a housing selection process that allows them to indicate preferences for a specific room, residence facility, or roommates. These choices may affect the final housing costs as reflected on your final bill.

Meal Plan Options We prefer that first-year students take the 19-meal plan so as to ensure full access to the meals served in the Dining Commons. The College will allow students to select the 15-meal plan should they desire; although, it is our experience that this is not an optimal option for the first year. This cost estimate is provided in the table below. Each meal plan offers a combination of meal swipes and BeaconBuck$ to be used at our on-campus cafe.

Indirect Costs Direct costs for college include tuition and fees and room and board — basically, what shows up on your bill. However, these are not the only expenses a student incurs when attending college. Indirect costs are estimated out-of-pocket expenses that may arise as part of your attendance. Most commonly, these include things like transportation, books, supplies, and other personal expenses. Indirect costs vary for each individual and may depend on their travel distance, whether you live on campus, which meal plan you choose, and other lifestyle factors. Indirect costs are not paid to Beacon College, but should be considered as part of your overall cost of attendance budget. Tuition Payment Deadlines Fall: Jul. 28 Spring: Dec. 28 Summer: Apr. 28 Fall Foundations: Aug. 15 Spring Foundations: Jan. 15 Missed, late, or partial payments will be assessed finance charges on the unpaid balance.
