Hi everyone! I'm thinking about applying to Kennesaw State University, and I'm trying to get an idea of the tuition costs for in-state students. Can anyone provide the current tuition rates? Also, are there any scholarships or financial aid opportunities I should be aware of?
Hi there! As of the 2024-2025 academic year, Kennesaw State University's in-state tuition for undergraduate students is approximately $6,500 per year. This figure includes tuition and mandatory fees but does not include room and board, books, or other living expenses. Keep in mind that tuition rates may change slightly from year to year, so it's a good idea to check the university's website for the most up-to-date information.
Aside from federal and state grants, Kennesaw State University offers various scholarships to eligible students. Some of the scholarships are merit-based, while others are need-based, or consider factors like academic major, leadership, or extracurricular activities. To be considered for most scholarships, you will need to submit a separate scholarship application through the Kennesaw State University Scholarship application portal, usually by a specified deadline.
In addition to university-specific scholarships, don't forget to explore external scholarship opportunities. Many organizations and foundations offer scholarships to college students based on factors like academic achievement, community service, unique talents, or personal background. You can search for these scholarships through various scholarship search engines or by checking with your high school counselor for local opportunities.
Lastly, remember to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible to be considered for federal and state financial aid programs. FAFSA considers your family's financial situation to calculate your eligibility for grants, work-study, and loan programs, helping to make college more affordable.
Good luck with your college search and application process!
