Hi folks! Southern Illinois University is on my radar, and I'm currently investigating what the cost situation is there like tuition and all. Anyone has insights to share? Appreciate any help!
Absolutely, happy to provide some insights on the cost of attending Southern Illinois University!
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated cost of attendance for in-state undergraduates is approximately $29,726. This includes tuition, fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation, and miscellaneous personal expenses. Domestic, undergraduate students who are not IL residents pay the in-state tuition rate as well.
Remember, these estimates are just the sticker prices and many students pay less than the full cost due to the availability of financial aid. You might qualify for federal, state, or school-specific aid, so make sure to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to see what you're eligible for.
Additionally, these costs can fluctuate depending on a number of variables. For instance, living on campus versus off, meal plan options, and personal expenditures will differ from student to student.
Finally, keep in mind that these are estimated costs and may increase in future years due to inflation or other factors. You can always check the school’s official website or contact their financial aid office for the most accurate and up-to-date information. I hope this info helps in your college planning!
