East Carolina University - What's the Damage?

Hey all, I'm wrapping up my junior year and am considering East Carolina University. So, just wanted to ask - What's the total cost of attending including tuition, housing, meals, etc.? Does anyone have a detailed breakdown or any info on financial aid opportunities that might help cover these costs?

Hey there!

The cost of attendance at East Carolina University usually depends on several factors, including if you're an in-state or out-of-state student, and what type of housing option you choose. As of the most recent data available, here's a summary:

For an in-state student, the estimated total cost, which includes tuition, fees, room, board, textbooks, and personal expenses, is slightly over $25,358 a year.

On the other hand, an out-of-state student pays about $41,525 per year in total.

Now, concerning financial aid, East Carolina University offers several scholarships for its students. Some are based on academic merit, while others might be for students with specific talents or in certain areas of study. When you apply, your academic record is automatically considered for these scholarships, so you don’t need to submit separate applications for each one.

Apart from university scholarships, don't forget that you can apply for federal, state, and other external scholarships or grants to help offset the costs. Simply filling out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will help you find out what federal and state aid you're eligible for, and many external scholarships have their own individual applications.

Lastly, the university also offers various work-study opportunities, where you can work part-time while studying, which can help you cover some of your living expenses.

Good luck in your college search! It's a huge step and remember every bit of research helps in making an informed decision.
