Cost for Eastern Illinois University?

I am considering Eastern Illinois University as one of my choices, but I am a little concerned about the tuition. Can anyone tell me how much it costs?

Eastern Illinois University, as a public institute, employs a cost structure that varies depending on whether a student is in-state or out-of-state.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated tuition for an in-state undergraduate student is about $10,150. Room and board are an additional cost, which averages around $12,520. So, the total estimated cost for an in-state undergraduate student, including tuition, fees, room, and board, might come to around $26,000.

Now, if you're an out-of-state student, the tuition is higher. The estimated tuition increases to approximately $12,700. When you include room and board, the total comes to around $29,000.

Keep in mind these numbers do not include other expenses like books, transportation, personal expenses, and possible course or lab fees. So, the total costs might increase a bit when you account for these additional expenses. These numbers are also only estimates for one academic year (two semesters).

If you're concerned about paying for college, I'd highly recommend looking into financial aid opportunities. Completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is always a good place to start. The university also likely offers its own forms of financial aid, possibly including scholarships, loans, work-study opportunities, and other aid programs.
