Hi folks, I'm trying to gauge the financials for certain colleges I'm interested in. Specifically, Alcorn State University is on my list. Does anyone have any information about its tuition fees and other possible expenses? Much appreciated.
For 2024-2025, Alcorn State University's tuition is $7,869 per year, for in-state and out of state students.
This figure, however, only represents the base tuition cost. They don't include additional fees, and expenses like room and board, textbooks, and personal expenses. Room and board at Alcorn State is estimated to be around $10,255 per year and books and supplies generally add up to between $1,600 - $2,200 annually.
One key piece of advice is to make use of the Net Price Calculator (https://www.collegeraptor.com/Shopping/School/Alcorn-State-University-MS--175342). This tool allows you to get an estimate of the financial aid you might be eligible for, and an adjusted cost of attendance based on your family's financial situation.
Remember to prepare for possible increases in tuition and other costs in the future, as college costs tend to rise from year to year. Start early with scholarship applications and consider opening a savings account if you haven't already. Lastly, complete the FAFSA as soon as you can each year to maximize your eligible for financial aid.
