Bills from any college or university can be confusing. At Keuka College, we try to make your bill as easy to understand as possible, outlining what financial aid you're eligible for, what you will and will not need to pay back, and how much you'll owe. We hope that this guide will help you understand exactly what to expect.
- Tuition: The cost of attendance, teaching, and instruction.
- Fees: All colleges charge some mandatory fees, which vary per school. At Keuka College, our fees include a comprehensive charge, plus fees for student activities, and new student orientation. Students who are not covered under a medical insurance plan will be required to purchase the College’s insurance.
- Room & Board: The cost of living in campus housing and your chosen meal plan. If you live within a 30-mile radius of campus you can commute. Commuter students save the costs of room and board by living at home and driving to classes each day.
Your bill will also show two different types of costs:
- Direct Costs are those that you will be billed for (i.e., tuition, fees, room and board).
- Indirect Costs are those that you may encounter during an academic year (i.e., transportation, books, personal expenses).
Financial Aid Awards

- Loans: Money that you do need to pay back.
