Hello all, I'm a high school junior from California but Howard University is one of my top picks. I can't seem to find a clear answer on out-of-state tuition though. Can anyone share insight into the cost for out-of-state students? Thanks a bunch!
Hello there,
It's important to note that Howard University is a private institution. This means that unlike public universities that often have different tuition rates for in-state and out-of-state students, Howard’s tuition cost is the same regardless of whether you are a resident of the District of Columbia or from a different state (in your case, California).
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated cost of tuition and fees at Howard is roughly around $32,878. However, other costs such as room and board, books and supplies, or personal expenses are not included in this figure. When you factor in such additional costs, you should be prepared for the total cost of attendance to be higher.
For a clearer idea of the comprehensive cost, you could leverage tools like Howard’s net price calculator, which can estimate your total cost of attendance including room and board, meal plans, and other expenses.
Also keep in mind that there are scholarship opportunities and financial aid packages that can significantly offset these costs. You should definitely explore these during your application process.
Best of luck with your college journey!
