Net Price Calculator

Colleges participating in federal financial aid programs are required to supply families with a net price calculator on their website. Note that the Net Price Calculator uses prior academic year information and full-time enrollment for a student attending the Practical Nursing (PN) program for that academic year. The Federal Aid information provided upon completion of the calculation may not reflect actual eligibility. To view the current academic year’s information for all programs, please visit the Student Account's Tuition and Fees webpage.

For information about potential federal aid eligibility, the Department of Education provides a Federal Student Aid Estimator. The Federal Student Aid Estimator provides an estimate of how much federal student aid the student may be eligible to receive. These estimates are based on the Student Aid Index (SAI), an index number used to determine federal student aid eligibility.

Net Price Calculator

Welcome to Centra College's net price calculator. Begin by reading and agreeing to the statement below. Then follow the instructions on the subsequent screens to receive an estimate of how much students similar to you paid to attend Centra College in 2022-23.

Please read. This calculator is intended to provide estimated net price information (defined as estimated cost of attendance - including tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board (meals), and other related expenses - minus estimated grant and scholarship aid) to current and prospective students and their families based on what similar students paid in a previous year.

By clicking below, I acknowledge that the estimate provided using this calculator does not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance, or a final net price; it is an estimate based on cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in a previous year. Cost of attendance and financial aid availability change year to year. The estimates shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the institution of higher education, or the State.

Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be eligible for, and receive, an actual financial aid award that includes Federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance. For more information on applying for Federal student aid, go to http://studentaid.gov.

Note: Any information that you provide on this site is confidential. The Net Price Calculator does not store your responses or ask for personal identifying information of any kind.
