I'm looking at applying to Howard University soon. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how much their tuition might be? Thanks in advance!
Hello! As of the most recent data available, Howard University's tuition and fees for undergraduate in-state and out-of-state students is approximately $32,878 for the academic year. This cost does not include room and board, textbooks, or any personal expenses which might factor into the total cost of attendance.
However, it's important to note that most students do not pay "sticker price" for college. Financial aid and scholarships can significantly reduce these costs. My suggestion would be to use Howard University's Net Price Calculator to get a more accurate estimate of what you might pay.
The "sticker price" doesn't take into account any potential financial aid you might receive from the government, the state, the school, or private scholarships, whereas the Net Price Calculator can give you a clearer sense of how much you personally would actually pay out of pocket. You can access the Net Price Calculator here: https://financialservices.howard.edu/tuition-fees/net-price-calculator
Keep in mind that the price can change annually, so you would need to check the college's website or contact the financial aid office each year for the most accurate information. The financial aid office can also give you more personalized guidance about your eligibility for aid, given your personal financial circumstances - the Net Price Calculator is useful, but provides just an estimate.
Hope this overview helps!
