Hey folks, I'm just wondering what the expected tuition fees for Princeton might be. Has there been any significant increase recently and what could I expect to pay as a potential class of 2024 student?
The tuition for Princeton University for the academic year 2024-2025 is approximately $62,400, not including room and board, books, and personal expenses. Keep in mind that tuition generally increases by a small percentage each year, so make sure to check the official website for the most up-to-date information.
While the sticker price may seem high, Princeton offers generous financial aid packages. The institution follows a need-blind admission policy, meaning your ability to pay doesn’t impact admissions decisions. Of Princeton's 2023 freshman class, 100% of students from families making $180,000 a year or less qualified for at least some kind of financial aid. According to Princeton's official website, the full need of every admitted student is met through grants. The average grant awarded to students admitted to the Class of 2026 was $62,635.
I recommend that you check out Princeton's financial aid estimator, which can give you a more personalized estimate of what you might expect to pay based on your family's financial situation.
