Hey all, I'm a high school junior, and I'm really interested in the programs WPI has to offer. The thing is, I can't find solid info on what the tuition looks like. Does anyone have the numbers?
Absolutely! As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is approximately $59,700 for full-time undergraduate students. This cost only includes tuition and does not cover other fees, room and board, textbooks, and personal expenses.
Room and board, which includes housing and meal plans, is around $15,664, and the comprehensive fee, which includes everything from student activities to lab costs, is about $1,250. Books and personal expenses can range from $1,200 to $2,000 annually, depending on your specific major and personal needs.
Remember that these are the on-paper costs. You should definitely look into financial aid opportunities—grants, work-study, and loans—that can considerably reduce your actual out-of-pocket cost. You can get an estimate of your potential financial aid package and net price (the cost after financial aid) by using WPI's Net Price Calculator. Keep in mind that these are just estimates and your actual financial aid package will depend on your family's financial situation as well as your academic merit. The key here is to not let the initial price tag dishearten you, as financial aid can make a significant difference!
