Hello, currently a junior here and I'm seriously considering Northern Kentucky University. However, I'm trying to figure out the overall cost of attendance there. Does anyone here have information about their current costs or any pointers on where to find such details?
Sure, the cost of attendance at Northern Kentucky University (NKU) can be a significant factor to consider. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, these are the following cost estimates:
- For in-state students, tuition and fees total roughly $10,704 annually.
- For out-of-state students, they are approximately $21,528 a year.
- Room and board are estimated to be around $12,712.
So, the total estimated cost of attendance for an in-state student is close to $23,500 a year and for an out-of-state student, around $34,500 a year. These costs include tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board but do not include personal expenses or books and supplies, which can add a few thousand dollars a year.
This is estimated data and the actual costs may vary slightly. You can always confirm the latest numbers on NKU's tuition and financial aid website.
Remember that these are the sticker prices. The final price after financial aid and scholarships can be considerably lower, depending on your family's financial situation and academic record. NKU has an online net price calculator that prospective students can use to estimate their own expenses after factoring in potential financial aid. This could give you a more realistic figure for your budget planning.
Another key point to note is that unlike the tuition fee which varies for in-state and out-of-state students, room and board costs remain the same for both categories. Happy planning!
