Hello! I'm kinda interested in Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), but I'm an out-of-state student. Could anybody help me figure out the out-of-state tuition at FGCU? Trying to calculate whether I can afford it. Thanks!
Hello! Florida Gulf Coast University, like many public universities, has different tuition rates for in-state and out-of-state students. For the 2024-2025 school year, the estimated tuition and fees for out-of-state undergraduate students is around $25,100 per year.
Additionally, room and board usually costs about $10,000 per year, but that can vary depending on the type of housing and meal plan you choose. It's important to also budget for personal expenses, books, and transportation, which can add a few thousand dollars to your total expenses.
To better understand if you can afford attending FGCU, I would recommend using FGCU's Net Price Calculator (https://www.fgcu.edu/admissionsandaid/financialaid/netpricecalculator/). This tool can help you estimate potential financial aid and the net price you might pay after scholarships and grants. Keep in mind that external scholarships can also help offset your cost of attendance.
But please be aware that these are estimated numbers and the actual cost can vary. For the most accurate financial information, you should reach out to FGCU's Financial Aid Office and discuss your individual circumstances. They might be able to provide you with more personalized advice.
Best of luck as you dive into the college application and financial planning process!
