Hey guys! Tuskegee University is a firm consideration for me but the tuition info is a bit unclear. How much does a typical year look like for expenses, including any extra fees? Also, what kind of financial aid support does the university offer?
Tuskegee University provides a comprehensive breakdown of fee structure that includes tuition, and various other mandatory fees. As of the current academic year, the tuition for an undergraduate student is approximately $21,064 per year. Room and board costs on the higher side are estimated at roughly $11,072 for a double-room student residence and food services. Mandatory fees, which include Student Services Fee, Infrastructure Fee, and Technology Fee collectively amount to about $3,700.
Please remember, that these are rounded estimates and costs can vary marginally based on specific study pathways, room preferences, food plans, and other personal factors. Also worth noting is that textbooks and supplies (estimated at around $600) and personal expenses can add to your budget.
As for financial aid, Tuskegee University is dedicated to supporting students financially. They offer several scholarships based on either merit or need, such as the "Tuskegee University Grant", "The Distinguished Presidential Scholarship", and many more. In addition to scholarships, Tuskegee University students also have the chance to receive federal aid or to engage in work-study programs.
To understand your personal financial aid situation, you should submit a FAFSA form where you'll receive your Student Aid Index (SAI). Once you have your SAI, Tuskegee will use this information to create a customized financial aid package based on your financial need.
It's always advisable to contact the financial aid office at the university for the most accurate and comprehensive financial information. They can provide you with a more precise amount based on your specific circumstances and the assistance options available to you.
