Reduced Tuition
The Â鶹´«Ã½ offers tuition waivers for out-of-state students who meet certain criteria. In many cases, your Â鶹´«Ã½ tuition can end up being lower than your home state’s tuition!
For the merit-based waivers, compare your home state’s average in-state tuition and fees,* with Â鶹´«Ã½’s average tuition and fees with one of the waivers. Select your state in one of the drop-downs and a Â鶹´«Ã½ waiver option in the other drop-down.
*Displayed amounts are 2023-24 tuition and fees for 30 credit hours per academic year, based on .
