Williamson’s Cost of Attendance is approved by the Board of Trustees each academic year and is published on the college’s website. The administration strongly encourages all students and their families to visit the college website often as it outlines a number of institutional policies and procedures regarding financial aid and expected student costs. The website also hosts Williamson’s Net Price Calculator which is a tool designed to individually estimate the cost of attendance and types of financial aid a student might qualify for in the upcoming academic year. The Net Price Calculator is typically updated at the beginning of each academic year following the Federal and State Department of Education’s release of the grant award value for the subsequent academic year.
All Williamson students are eligible to receive a Williamson Scholarship which, alongside any Federal Pell and Pennsylvania State Grants (Pennsylvania residents only) received, will defray a student’s annual tuition and room and board costs. To qualify for a Williamson Scholarship, all students (including incoming freshmen) must complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for Pell and State Grant (Pennsylvania residents only) consideration. Defined by the Federal Department of Education as an institutional scholarship, the Williamson Scholarship award amount is calculated only after the value of a student’s Pell and State Grant (Pennsylvania residents only) is determined by the completion and submission of a FAFSA form. Failure to complete and submit a FAFSA will prevent a Williamson Scholarship from being awarded, resulting in a full tuition, room and boarding charge to the individual student.
Upon acceptance in the spring of 2026, all incoming freshmen must attend a New Student/Financial Aid Workshop and complete and submit their FAFSA by April 30, 2026. Incoming freshmen who fail to accomplish these tasks by April 30, 2026, will prevent the Williamson Scholarship from being awarded, resulting in the student paying the college the full amount of tuition and room and board by May 15, 2026; failure to meet these deadlines will lead to enrollment cancellation. Please note the dates outlined in this paragraph may be modified by the college in response to an unanticipated change in federal or state student financial aid regulatory requirements.
In addition, students must complete and submit their FAFSA prior to their junior and senior years. Currently enrolled students must complete and submit their FAFSA by February 1 prior to the start of their subsequent academic year (to receive a Williamson Scholarship for the 2026-2027 Academic Year, a currently enrolled student must have completed his FAFSA by February 1). Failure to accomplish these tasks by February 1 may prevent the Williamson Scholarship from being awarded for the subsequent academic year, resulting in the student paying the full cost of tuition and room and board by August 1, 2025.
Applicants, incoming students, and currently enrolled students must ensure all information provided as part of the application process (to include FAFSA), and subsequent annual FAFSA submissions, is accurate and without falsehood or omission. False or misleading information may lead to enrollment cancellation.
The college’s Financial Aid Office is available to assist students and their families to complete their financial aid applications. New students to Williamson will receive an itemized Annual Fees and Books and Supplies letter included in their enrollment package. Continuing students can review their itemized letter, tailored specifically to their academic year and trade program, on the college’s website under the Cost of Attendance section. While students should refer to their itemized letter for specific academic fee and program costs, students should anticipate the following estimated initial and recurring costs for the 2026-2027 Academic Year:
- Annual Fees: $140
- Enrollment Deposit (Freshman Only): $200
- Books and Supplies: Varies by academic year and program; see the “Financial Aid/Cost of Attendance” tab on the school’s website.
- Optional Student Parking Fee (Juniors and Seniors only): $175.00. A student discount is available to each student who is current with his class dues.
All students must provide an enrollment deposit which may be returned to the student as outlined within the college’s Student Withdrawal process. All students must provide their own health insurance.
Please note that Williamson is not approved by the Veterans Administration to offer GI Bill or Yellow Ribbon program benefits.
