Cost Overview

Families at Simmons College of Kentucky pay around $19,960 per year after aid, regardless of income level. The net price stays remarkably consistent across all income brackets, ranging from $19,227 for families earning under $30K to $23,457 for those making $75-110K annually. Over four years, students can expect to pay roughly $80,000 total.

Only 4.20% of students receive institutional grants, averaging $9,788 each. The college's limited endowment means less wiggle room for merit scholarships compared to wealthier institutions. About 32% of students take federal loans to bridge the gap. This HBCU serves a predominantly Black student body with 43% qualifying for Pell Grants, indicating significant financial need among enrollees.

The best deal goes to the small fraction of students who land institutional grants, cutting their costs by nearly $10,000 annually. Everyone else pays similar amounts regardless of family income.
