Ada Comstock Scholars Tuition 2022–23
An Ada Comstock Scholar’s fees and grant aid are based on the number of credits for which they are enrolled.
Cost of Tuition Per Semester

| 12 to 15 credits (full time) | $21,960 |
| 8 to 11 credits (part time) | $14,640 |
Fees and aid for Ada Comstock Scholars will be based on the number of credits in which the student is enrolled on the 15th day of each semester. After that deadline, fees and aid will be changed only if the Administrative Board gives special permission, and only if the change adds to your total number of credits.
Student Activities Fee
Full-time Ada Comstock Scholars are charged a student activity fee of $144 per semester.
Part-Time Students
Ada Comstock Scholars enrolled in fewer than 8 credits pay on a per credit basis at the rate of $1,830 per credit and are not eligible to receive institutional financial aid. All credits and charges are per semester.

$2,884 annually ($1,442 per semester). This fee may be waived if you have comparable health insurance that will cover you while in Massachusetts. Ada Comstock Scholars who receive need-based grant aid from Smith will receive a grant to cover this cost if they accept the Smith health insurance.
