There are Exciting Opportunities on Campus 

Many positions available at Manor College provide stipends for service, allowing students to develop their own skillsets while helping to fund their education. Campus Ministry, for example, gives a $500 a semester stipend to its student chaplains – allowing them to partake in a role of spiritual support for their fellow students. Similarly, Resident Assistants receive their own room and a full meal plan in exchange for their role as student leaders.

Manor is a Local Leader in Affordable Education 

Manor College made headlines for freezing tuition costs in 2016-17, which helped establish it as the best priced private residential college in PA. It’s worth noting that, compared to many similar private Philadelphia schools that have yearly basic tuition costs (before aid) of up to $35,000, Manor rivals the tuition rates of many state schools at $16,429 (as of May 19). Whether you plan to receive your bachelor’s degree here, or transfer from one of our two-year programs such as Pre-Nursing, the potential for saving costs is obvious.
