Hello! I'm looking into the University of Florida, and I'm trying to get an idea of the cost of tuition. Can anyone tell me what I should expect to pay and if there's any financial aid available?
The cost of tuition at the University of Florida (UF) varies depending on whether you are an in-state or out-of-state student. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated cost for in-state undergraduate students is around $6,380 per year, while out-of-state undergraduate students can expect to pay around $28,658 per year. Keep in mind that these figures only account for tuition and do not include additional costs such as room and board, books, and other personal expenses.
UF offers a variety of financial aid options to help offset the cost of attendance. To be considered for financial aid, you'll need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after October 1. Federal aid can come in the form of grants, work-study programs, and federal loans. In addition, UF provides its own need-based and merit-based scholarships, many of which require a separate application process.
To get an accurate estimate of the net price you'll be expected to pay, use UF's Net Price Calculator on their financial aid website. This tool takes into account your family's financial situation, as well as your potential eligibility for federal grants and loans, institutional scholarships, and other financial aid programs.
Lastly, don't forget to also explore external scholarships, grants, and work-study opportunities, which can be found through various online databases, local organizations, and community-based programs.
