Hi everyone! I'm looking into Eastern Illinois University and was wondering if anyone could provide some info on their undergraduate tuition and fees? Any financial aid advice for this university would also be appreciated.
Hi there! Eastern Illinois University (EIU) has different tuition rates and fees depending on your residency status and whether you are a full-time or part-time student. For the 2024-2025 academic year, undergraduate tuition and fees at EIU are as follows:
- Illinois resident (full-time): $10,150 per academic year
- Non-resident (full-time): $12,688 per academic year
These amounts do not include housing, meal plans, or any additional miscellaneous fees.
As for financial aid, you should start by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to see what federal grants, loans, or work-study opportunities are available to you. Additionally, EIU offers a range of scholarships for both in-state and out-of-state students based on factors like academic achievement, civic engagement, and leadership skills. You can explore these scholarship opportunities on the EIU scholarship page (https://www.eiu.edu/scholarships/).
Another helpful tool is EIU's Net Price Calculator, which can provide you with an estimated financial aid package based on your specific financial situation. Be sure to research all available scholarships and grants and apply to as many as possible to maximize the financial assistance you may receive.
Good luck with your college search and financial aid process!
