<p>Does anybody know what the estimated cost is for a Coast Guard Academy cadet going through all four years at the Academy? What is the given "scholarship" value? I have been looking online but I can not seem to find it anywhere. I was given a piece of paper that said $280,000, but I thought it was more around $300,000... Either way the cost does not really matter to me because I know the experience in itself will be priceless, but I was just curious what the number was... Please anybody jump if you know. Thanks!</p>
<p>$280 is an estimate, and that is the number told to everyone during your presentation at your senior award ceremony.</p>
<p>Thank you for the quick response. I just wanted to double-check that it was right. Thank you so much!</p>
<p>We attended a reception hosted by Senator Chambliss this week and the speaker said $418,000.</p>
<p>Wow! $418,000 that is a big difference then $280,000... That is interesting. Then again these are just estimates of the cost. Thank you for your post.</p>
<p>That number was said to include everything; college, books, summers, medical, pay, etc.....</p>
<p>they said 218,000 at mine......right after westpoint said over 400,000 for another kid... talk about estimates!! it was a nice speech and awards cermony tho</p>
<p>that the estimate includes your health care, and all the other military benefits of service, in addition to the education, books, room, and the costs of summer training experiences.</p>
<p>To clean up an old maxim, "A free education worth $300,000 'earned' a nickel at a time. :D</p>
