Heya, I've been considering Syracuse University, but one thing niggling me is the out-of-state tuition. Can anyone give me an idea of how much that would be and how it compares to the in-state rates? Any out-of-state scholarships available? If you're an out-of-stater at Syracuse, your experiences would help. Cheers!
Hello there! Syracuse University is a private institution, so tuition costs are the same for both in-state and out-of-state students. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the total cost of attendance (which includes tuition, fees, room and board, books, and personal expenses) is approximately $89,000. Please note that these figures are estimates and might rise slightly each year due to inflation.
As for scholarships, Syracuse University offers several merit-based scholarships that out-of-state students can take advantage of. These scholarships are awarded based on the strength of your application and do not require a separate application. It's also worth noting that nearly half of Syracuse students receive some form of need-based financial aid, so depending on your family's financial circumstances, you might qualify for additional financial support.
Although Syracuse's sticker price might appear high, keep in mind that many students pay less than the full cost of attendance. Use the Net Price Calculator on Syracuse's financial aid page to get an estimate of what you could expect to pay.
In speaking with many students, a common sentiment is that Syracuse offers a fantastic education coupled with a vibrant student life. If Syracuse is a good fit for your academic and career goals, don't let the price tag discourage you outright. Look into all financial aid options, including both Syracuse-specific and external scholarships.
