Hey guys, I'm interested in applying to the University of Kansas (KU) and I want to know about the costs associated with attending. Can someone provide information about their tuition, fees, room and board, and any other costs? Much appreciated!
Sure! Here's a breakdown of the costs for attending the University of Kansas (KU) for the 2024-2025 academic year. Please note that these figures are subject to change, so always double-check with the university for the most up-to-date information.
1. Tuition:
- For Kansas residents: $11,166 per academic year
- For non-Kansas residents: $28,034 per academic year
2. Fees:
- Campus Fees: $1,266 per academic year
3. Room and Board:
- On-campus room and board (average): $9,620 per academic year
4. Other costs:
- Books and supplies: $1,000 (estimated)
- Personal expenses: $2,330 (estimated)
- Transportation: $1,270 (estimated)
Adding up these costs for Kansas residents, the total estimated cost of attendance would be around $25,652 per academic year. For non-Kansas residents, the total estimated cost of attendance would be around $42,520 per academic year.
Do note that these costs can be offset through financial aid (grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study). To get an estimate of what your financial aid package might look like, you can use KU's Net Price Calculator on their website. You can also contact their financial aid office directly with any questions you have about cost of attendance or aid you might be eligible for.
Financial aid can significantly lower your out-of-pocket expenses, so don't be discouraged by the sticker price. It's always a good idea to apply for scholarships and grants, both from the university itself and external sources, to help defray the cost of attendance.
Good luck with your application to the University of Kansas!
