University of Tennessee Out of State Tuition?

Hey guys, I'm from Ohio and considering the University of Tennessee for my undergrad. However, I'm a little unsure about the potential financial burden, especially being out-of-state. Does anyone have any knowledge on what the out-of-state tuition usually is? Also any tips on securing scholarships would be great!

Sure, I can provide some information on that. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the out-of-state tuition at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville is approximately $33,256 per year. However, please note that this figure does not include the costs of housing, dining, books, and additional fees, which can significantly increase your total cost of attendance. It's important to review the full cost of attending the university before making your decision.

As for scholarships, the University of Tennessee offers several merit-based scholarships that do not require a separate application, with awards determined by your academic information on your admissions application. You may qualify for these based on your academic achievements regardless of your home state.

Furthermore, the University of Tennessee also offers a scholarship specifically for out-of-state students known as the Volunteer Scholarship. To be considered for this award, which ranges from $8,000 to $18,000 per year, you'll need to submit your application for admission by the priority admission deadline of December 15.

In addition to these institutional scholarships, I'd recommend exploring external scholarships as well. These are scholarships funded by organizations outside of the university and can be a great way to offset the cost of tuition. Websites like Scholarships.com can provide resources on where to find such scholarships. Remember to start applying early and apply to as many scholarships as you are eligible for, to increase your chances of receiving funding.

Best of luck with your college search!
