Is anyone here familiar with the tuition breakdown at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago? I'm considering applying there, so details about tuition, financial aid, or any scholarships would be really helpful!
The tuition at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) currently stands at about $50,636 per year for full-time undergraduate students, although this number could change from year to year. Keep in mind that this figure only represents tuition and does not include other potential expenses you might need to cover, such as room and board, books, supplies, and personal expenses. Including those estimated costs, the total cost of attendance per year can run upwards of $75,738.
IIT offers need-based financial aid as well as merit-based scholarships. If you are interested in being considered for either, you'll want to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the CSS Profile. The FAFSA helps determine your eligibility for federal and state grants, work-study, and loans. The CSS Profile is used to determine your eligibility for institutional aid provided by the university itself.
Regarding merit scholarships, all undergraduate applicants are automatically considered for merit-based aid, which can range in value up to full tuition. These are awarded based on your academic performance in high school and any standardized test scores if you choose to submit them.
Keep in mind that IIT’s Net Price Calculator can also be a great tool for estimating the financial aid you might receive and to help understand what the cost for you might be after aid is applied. It’s always a good move to have this sense of your estimated financial commitment ahead of time.
