Hello, hope you're all doing well. Can anyone help me out with the estimated cost of attendance for Western Kentucky University (WKU)? Really hope it fits within my budget. Thanks for your help!
Hi there! I'm glad to hear that you're interested in Western Kentucky University. The cost of attendance can vary a bit based on personal variables, such as living on-campus versus off-campus and whether you're in-state or out-of-state.
As of the 2023-2024 academic year, the most recent data, here's an estimation of the costs for undergraduate students:
- For in-state students living on campus, the cost ranges from $21,626 to $26,066 per year. This includes tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and personal/miscellaneous expenses.
- For out-of-state students living on campus, the cost goes up to approximately a range of $37,190 to $47,030 per year.
Keep in mind these are estimates and the actual cost may be slightly different. To get the most accurate estimate, I would recommend using Western Kentucky University's net price calculator, which factors in your family's financial information to estimate your potential financial aid and final cost (https://www.wku.edu/financialaid/costinfo/calculator.php).
Remember, financial aid can help reduce these costs, so remember to fill out your FAFSA form to be eligible for aid. Hope this gives you a good starting point and makes the financial aspect of college planning a bit smoother for you!
