Hey everyone, I'm really considering applying to Cornell, but I'm concerned about the cost. Can anyone give me an idea of the current out-of-state tuition for Cornell University?
Sure! As a private institution, Cornell University doesn't differentiate between in-state and out-of-state students when it comes to tuition. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated cost of attendance (including tuition, fees, room, and board) is around $88,742 per year. Keep in mind that this figure can vary slightly depending on factors like your housing options and meal plan.
Although the sticker price may seem high, Cornell offers need-based financial aid to eligible students. Depending on your family's financial situation, you may qualify for grants, loans, or work-study opportunities to help cover the costs. You can use Cornell's financial aid calculator to estimate how much aid you may be eligible for. Also, make sure you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service (CSS) PROFILE to maximize your financial aid opportunities. Good luck!
