How much is the tuition at UGA?

I'm juggling a lot of choices for college right now and finances are a big piece of the puzzle. I've been looking at the University of Georgia (UGA) and I'm curious about the cost. Does anyone have the deets on how much I can expect to pay there, before financial aid or scholarships?

The tuition at the University of Georgia (UGA) can vary depending on whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student. For the 2024-2025 academic year, here are the rates:

- For in-state students, the tuition and fees total approximately $10,000 per year.

- For out-of-state students, the tuition and fees increase to approximately $30,000 per year.

Note that these figures represent tuition and fees only. They do not include additional costs like room and board, books, personal expenses, or transportation, which can add several thousand dollars to your total cost of attendance. I've seen estimated total costs of attendance that are closer to $28,800 for in-state students, and about $49,700 for out-of-state students.

Remember, these are sticker prices and actual costs can be lower depending on financial aid, scholarships, and part-time work. To get a better estimate of your own costs, UGA's financial aid website has a net price calculator (https://busfin.uga.edu/bursar/How_to_Use_Estimate_Cost_Calculator.pdf) that can give you a rough estimate based on your own financial situation. UGA has a reputation for offering generous financial aid and scholarships, and this tool will factor in potential financial aid, to give you a clearer sense of what you personally would pay.

On a separate note, if you want tips on how to maximize your chances of acceptance at UGA, I'd check out this blog post from CollegeVine, which breaks down how to tackle their school-specific supplemental essay(s): https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-georgia-essays/. The essays are a great way to round out your application by showing what you have to offer beyond the numbers.

Good luck with your college search!
