WAYNE — As part of its commit- ment to financial clarity and price transparency, Wayne State College is announcing the launch of a new and improved net price calculator. The goal is to ensure that every stu - dent understands what it will cost to attend Wayne State College and that all students see it as an aordable option.
Scholarships and aid at Wayne State College make the dierence for students looking for a high-qual - ity education at a manageable price. Nearly one half of Wayne State stu - dents graduated with zero student loan debt in 2024. And those stu - dents with debt at graduation aver - aged $18,074, which is dramatically lower than the Nebraska average of $32,400 and the national average of $38,375. The average remaining cost for Wayne State students after aid and scholarships comes to $1,189 per year.
Britney Hart, director of financial aid at Wayne State, said she is excit - ed to show students and families the generous aid provided by the college.
"Our new net price calculator was designed to be mobile first and student-friendly. We want to make it easy for students to understand the generous aid and scholarships that are available, and this enables us to do that," Hart said.
With its ease of use, the platform calculates how much financial aid a specific student would receive, how much they would need to pay out of pocket, and helps them explore the dierent ways they can cover that cost. Cost can be viewed on a monthly, annual, or total degree period. It also provides information about scholarship availability, stu - dent loans, and other financial aid options available to assist in paying for school.
