Cost Estimator for 2020-2021
This tool is intended only for undergraduate students who already have a financial aid award
package for the 2020-2021 academic year. It will help you estimate both your Hamline bill
(direct costs) and the total cost of attending Hamline including books, personal expenses,
etc. (indirect costs). If you are going to be a new student at Hamline, you can use our Net
Price Calculator to estimate your award package (returning undergraduates should not use that
tool as it will not be accurate). The Net Price Calculator can be found at
http://www.hamline.edu/undergraduate/admission/net-price-calculator.html. Please contact us with any questions!
