Hi, anyone knows how much the tuition at Austin College is? Also, any pointers on applying for financial aid there would be much appreciated!
In 2024, Austin College's tuition was roughly $45,000 per year, not including room and board, books, and other additional expenses. However, keep in mind that tuition might slightly increase year over year due to various factors.
About financial aid: there are a few different steps you should take. The first is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which opens on October 1st each year. You'll need your (and possibly your parents') tax information to complete this form. Filling out the FAFSA will determine your eligibility for federal student aid, including grants, work-study, and loans.
Furthermore, the college recommends submitting the CSS Profile to be considered for institutional need-based aid. This is another financial aid application, administered by the College Board, which gives a more detailed view of your family's financial situation.
Don't forget to look out for scholarships! While some scholarships are awarded automatically based on your application to the college, you might need to apply separately for others. Check out Austin College's scholarships page to learn more about these opportunities and to see if you're eligible.
Also, have a conversation with the financial aid office at Austin College. They can provide you with the most up-to-date information and offer guidance tailored to your situation. Remember, the posted tuition price often isn't what most students end up paying due to financial aid and scholarships. Best of luck in your application process!
