UMES Cost Query

Hello! Could someone provide information about the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's cost? I can't seem to find clear info.

Absolutely! The University of Maryland Eastern Shore, or UMES, is a public institution, so the cost of attending does vary depending on whether you're an in-state student or an out-of-state student.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, here are the cost breakdowns:

- In-state tuition and fees: approximately $9,076

- Out-of-state tuition and fees: about $20,122

- Room and board: roughly $10,600 for both in-state and out-of-state

Please note these are estimated prices and can fluctuate year by year. Also, these estimates do not include additional costs such as books, personal expenses, or transportation.

Financial aid can significantly reduce the cost, and most students do receive some form of aid. The school's Financial Aid office can provide a more detailed breakdown and assistance on the different types of financial aid available, including scholarships, grants, and loans.

Keep in mind that every family's financial situation is unique, and the actual cost you incur may be different once financial aid is considered. You can use the Net Price Calculator on the University's website (https://tcc.ruffalonl.com/University%20of%20Maryland%20Eastern%20Shore/Net_Price_Calculator) to get a better idea of what you might personally expect to pay, given your family's income and financial situation.

But overall, UMES is considered to be relatively affordable, especially for Maryland residents.
