About This School

Stone Child College is a public institution located in Box Elder, Montana with approximately 187 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $5,580 per year. The graduation rate is 33%, and the typical graduate earns $23,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Stone Child College (SCC) is a public tribal land-grant community college in Box Elder, Montana. SCC is affiliated with the Chippewa Cree Tribe and located on the Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation in north central Montana; it is one of seven Tribal Colleges in Montana. In 2008–2009, SCC had an enrollment of 511, of whom 98 percent were American Indian descent; 20 percent were bilingual or of limited English proficiency. SCC students range in age from 17 to 72, with the average age at 30. The college retention rate is 47 percent and the graduation rate is 20 percent.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,580 per year after aid, this tribal college in Box Elder, MT is genuinely affordable, and its small 187-student enrollment means you won't get lost in the crowd. However, the 33% graduation rate and median earnings of $23,800 a decade out are real concerns — fewer than 1 in 3 students finish, and those who do aren't seeing strong financial returns. Worth considering if you're connected to the community it serves or need a low-cost starting point, but go in with a clear plan to transfer or complete a degree.
