Hi all, I'm seriously looking into the University of South Florida, and I'd like to know what the cost of attendance is like. Any insights?
Hello! The cost of attendance at the University of South Florida (USF) is dependent on your residency status. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated cost of attendance per year for in-state undergraduate students is approximately $20,850. This includes tuition, fees, room and board, books and supplies, and personal and transportation costs.
For out-of-state undergraduate students, the cost of attendance is approximately $31,764 per year.
Remember, these are just estimates and the actual cost can vary based on individual circumstances. For instance, commuting students or those living off-campus may have different costs associated with housing and transportation. Also, personal expenses can vary widely from student to student.
Additionally, the University offers a variety of financial aid options, such as scholarships, grants, and work-study, that can help offset these costs. Be sure to complete your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as soon as possible to maximize your chances of receiving aid.
Finally, for an estimate tailored to your situation and needs, you should check out the net price calculator on the USF's website (https://tup-ofa.forest.usf.edu/finaid/npc). This tool will take into account your family's financial situation and estimate your potential financial aid, giving you a more accurate estimate of your out-of-pocket costs. Hope this helps!
