Hey! I recently got interested in Illinois State University (ISU) for its reputed programs. To factor in the financial aspect, can anyone tell me how much ISU generally charges for the annual tuition? Thanks!
Sure! The cost of tuition for attending Illinois State University will depend on whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student. As of the 2024-2025 academic year:
- For in-state undergraduate students, the tuition and fees sum up to around $16,000 per year.
- Students from out-of-state have to shell out approximately $27,000 per year on tuition and fees.
Please note, these charges do not include room, board, or other additional costs such as textbooks, personal expenses, and transportation. Also, tuition and fees are subject to change each year.
It's worth mentioning that Illinois State University offers a number of scholarships and need-based financial aid options. So, depending on your financial situation and academic profile, the net cost could be less. Be sure to fill out the FAFSA to see what financial aid you might be eligible for! You can also get a sense of this by using ISU's Net Price Calculator, which factors in total cost of attendance, as well as aid and loans: https://financialaid.illinoisstate.edu/paying/calculator/ .
