Hello everyone! I'm a high school junior considering attending UW Eau Claire, but I'm not sure about the tuition costs. Could anyone share what's the rough ballpark for their tuition? Also very interested in learning about any scholarship opportunities they might have.
Hello! The tuition costs for an undergraduate at University of Wisconsin Eau Claire can vary based on a few factors such as resident status and housing arrangements. For instance, an in-state undergraduate student taking 12-18 credits can expect to pay around $9,837 per year for tuition and fees. Out-of-state students, on the other hand, are charged roughly $19,446 per year.
In terms of housing, costs average around $9,651 per year depending on which residence hall you choose, what type of meal plan you opt for, and whether you choose a single or shared room.
As for scholarship opportunities, UW Eau Claire has an extensive offering of both merit-based and need-based scholarships. Some are automatically considered with your application, while others require separate applications. Be sure to explore their scholarship search tool on their website, which allows you to enter some basic information about yourself to see relevant scholarship opportunities.
Remember to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as it can open up opportunities for more financial aid, and it’s a requirement for some scholarships. You should also review local businesses, organizations, clubs, and national scholarships to maximize your opportunities.
Finally, don't forget to use the net price calculator on the university website to get a more personalized estimate of what your final cost of attending might look like after factoring in potential scholarships, grants, and other forms of financial aid. Good luck in your process!
