Few students will pay the full advertised sticker price of Montana Tech. The Net Price is an estimate of how much the average student actually pays to attend college for one year.
To calculate this number we take the total cost of attendance of Montana Technological University including tuition, fees, room, board and other expenses. Then we subtract out the average amount of aid awarded per student.
The average student will pay a total net price of $18,545.
Two important factors that affect the net price you will pay to attend Montana Technological University are where you will be living, either on-campus or off, and whether or not you will be receiving any grants or scholarships.
