Important disclosures
Please note: The estimates above apply to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students only. The estimated cost of attendance is based on the 2024-25 rates for 30 credits of tuition and fees, the average cost of a residence hall room, and 3 meals per day. Your exact cost will vary depending on the courses you take and the residence hall and meal plan you select. For a more detailed estimate of your financial aid eligibility using current year rates, please complete a Financial Aid Estimate available at https://forms.office.com/r/KL5tc9tgZ6.
These estimates do not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance or a final net price; they are only estimates based on cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in 2024-2025. Cost of attendance and financial aid availability changes year to year. These estimates shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the institution of higher education, or the State.
Not all students receive grant and scholarship aid. In 2024-2025, 95% of our full-time students enrolling for college for the first time were awarded grant/scholarship aid. Students may also be eligible for student loans and work-study. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to determine their eligibility for Federal financial aid that includes Federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance. For more information on applying for Federal student aid, go to https://studentaid.gov/. The FAFSA is available any time after October 1 and should be submitted no later than March 1 of the year you plan to enroll. Certain grant and workstudy programs have limited funds available and are awarded first to those students who meet the eligibility criteria and the March 1 priority deadline.
The WolfPACT Scholarship is awarded to first-time full-time freshmen with a composite ACT score of 20 or above and/or a high school GPA of 3.0 or higher. To qualify, you must be accepted for admission and provide official ACT scores and a final high school transcript. The scholarship is renewable for up to three years. Note: Equivalent SAT scores are also accepted. Keep in mind the figures in the Net Price Calculator are averages and each student's financial situation is unique.
