Hi guys, I'm considering Fort Lewis College as one of my options. Does anyone know what the tuition is like? Please include any extra fees I may have to consider.
Sure, I have some information that might help.
As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the annual tuition for in-state residents at Fort Lewis College is around $7,776. For out-of-state students, the tuition fee is approximately $19,344. Mind you, these figures only cover tuition.
Additional fees students are typically responsible for include various administrative and operational fees that support the campus and student life. As of the latest data, it's approximately $2,182 per year in combined fees for all students.
On top of tuition and fees, you certainly should also consider costs for room and board. For students living on campus, the annual cost for both is around $13,680.
Lastly, make sure to budget for books and supplies, personal expenses, and possibly travel to/from home, depending on your situation. These can vary greatly based on individual habits and needs, but a good estimate might be an additional $3,000-$5,000 a year.
So if you add all those up, the total cost of attendance per academic year could range from approximately $23,638 (for in-state residents) to around $35,206 (for out-of-state students) excluding personal and travel expenses.
It's vital to remember that many students do not pay the full sticker price. There are numerous financial aid opportunities available to lower these costs, such as scholarships, grants, work-study opportunities, and student loans. You'll want to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to determine your eligibility for aid. This will result in your SAI (Student Aid Index), which will be used by the college to help determine your financial aid package. The lower your SAI, the more aid you may be eligible for.
While these figures should give you a ballpark estimate, I highly encourage you to visit the Fort Lewis College website or contact their financial aid office for the most current and detailed information on tuition and other costs.
