Hi all! I've had my eye on Grand Valley State University lately, and I'm trying to crunch the numbers to see if it's affordable for my family. Can someone help me understand the cost of attendance at GVSU, including tuition, fees, housing, etc.? Thanks!
Sure, I'm happy to help! The cost of attendance at Grand Valley State University (GVSU) varies depending on whether you are an in-state or out-of-state student. Keep in mind, these numbers are approximate and subject to change. For the 2024-2025 academic year, here's a breakdown of the costs for both in-state and out-of-state students:
In-state students:
- Tuition and fees: $15,406
- Housing and meal plan: $11,550
- Books and supplies: $804
- Personal expenses and transportation: $2,558
Total cost of attendance: $30,318
Out-of-state students:
- Tuition and fees: $21,788
- Housing and meal plan: $11,550
- Books and supplies: $804
- Personal expenses and transportation: $2,558
Total cost of attendance: $36,700
These figures are estimated annual costs, and they can vary based on your choice of housing and meal plan, personal spending habits, and other factors.
To get a more personalized estimate of your costs at GVSU, I recommend using their Net Price Calculator, which can be found on their website. The calculator will consider factors such as your family's income and any potential financial aid to provide you with an individualized estimate of your total cost. Keep in mind that you may also be eligible for scholarships and grants, which can significantly help reduce your overall cost of attendance.
