TCNJ Costs - Need Some Guidance

Hi guys, I’ve been researching TCNJ recently and I need to figure out the cost scenario, like tuition, board, meal plans, textbooks and stuff. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Sure, I'll give you a breakdown of the estimated costs for TCNJ:

Here is the estimated breakdown for the 2024-2025 academic year:

1. Tuition: For in-state students, the tuition is about $19,640. For out-of-state students, the tuition rises to about $25,760.

2. Room & Board: Living on campus comes with a price tag of about $16,642. Remember, this can vary depending on your living situation (traditional dorm, suite, apartment, etc.)

So, for an in-state student living on campus with the 'Gold' meal plan, the total annual cost comes to roughly $36,282. For an out-of-state student, the annual cost would be about $42,402.

Now on to the financial aid aspect: The FAFSA uses the Student Aid Index (SAI) to determine your financial need, and therefore, your eligibility for aid. TCNJ also recommends that all students looking for financial aid submit the FAFSA. Please note that financial aid packages can significantly reduce the cost of attendance.

Remember to use TCNJ's net price calculator (https://netpricecalc.tcnj.edu/netpricecalc/) to get an estimate tailored to your family's finances. This can give a more accurate representation of what you can expect to pay.

It's valuable to remember these are rough costs, and each student's situation can alter these numbers. Each year these can variate, and different elements like personal spending habits and travel costs aren't covered here.

I hope this helps give you an idea of the costs associated with attending TCNJ!
