Out-of-state expenses for UCF?

Hey all! I'm an out-of-state high school junior and I've been considering applying to University of Central Florida (UCF). I know it's probably more expensive for me than for in-state students, so I was wondering what the costs involved are for attending UCF as an out-of-state student? Are there any scholarships specifically for out-of-state students? Thanks in advance!

Hello! Attending University of Central Florida (UCF) as an out-of-state student will be more expensive than for in-state students. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the approximate costs for out-of-state students are as follows:

- Tuition and Fees: $20,980 (per year)

- Room and Board: $10,300 (per year)

- Housing: $7,094 (per year, depending on housing option)

- Food: $5,358 (per year, depending on specific meal plan)

- Books and Supplies: $1,200 (per year)

- Personal and Miscellaneous: $5,000 (per year, depending on specific personal expenses)

These estimates bring the total annual cost for out-of-state students to around $49,932. Keep in mind that these figures are approximate and can vary based on factors like housing choices, meal plans, and individual spending habits.

UCF offers a wide range of other scholarships that are open to both in-state and out-of-state students. It's worth researching the different opportunities available and considering applying to any that align with your interests, academic achievements, or extracurricular involvements.

Remember to also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for need-based financial aid. Although the amount you'll receive might be different as an out-of-state student, it's still important to explore all funding options available to you.

Good luck, and I hope this information helps you in planning your college journey!
