Yo, everyone! I'm looking into Boise State University and I was wondering what the in-state tuition is like? Any information would help a lot! Thanks!
Sure thing! Boise State University, located in Idaho, offers tuition that is quite affordable relative to other universities, especially for in-state residents.
As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the in-state tuition and fees at Boise State University are approximately $9,000 per year. However, keep in mind that this figure is for tuition alone and doesn't account for associated costs such as room and board, textbooks, and other living expenses.
In order to qualify for in-state tuition, you typically need to be a resident of Idaho for at least 12 months prior to the term for which you are applying. Each state has slightly different rules for establishing residency, and often it takes more than simply living in the state. You usually need to demonstrate that you're not in the state primarily for educational purposes, which can involve working in the state, getting an Idaho driver's license or ID, registering to vote in Idaho, etc.
Remember, also financial aid is available to students, and the actual cost after aid could be much less depending on your family's financial situation. Make sure to fill out the FAFSA to see if you're eligible for any state or federal aid.
Hope this information helps! Best of luck with your college planning.
