Francis Marion Tuition

Hi there! I'm looking into Francis Marion University as one of my potential college options. Can anyone give me an idea of how much the tuition is there? Additionally, are there any scholarships or financial aid opportunities available? Any help would be appreciated!

Hello! Francis Marion University's tuition for the 2024-2025 academic year is $5,192 per semester for in-state students and $10,384 per semester for out-of-state students. This includes tuition and fees but does not include the cost of housing, meal plans, books, or other personal expenses. Keep in mind that these numbers may change slightly from year to year and are only an estimate for your planning purposes.

In terms of scholarships and financial aid opportunities, Francis Marion offers a variety of scholarships for incoming freshmen, including academic, athletic, and talent-based scholarships. Academic scholarships are based on a combination of your high school GPA and standardized test scores (if you choose to submit them). There are also departmental scholarships available for specific majors.

To be considered for academic scholarships, make sure to submit your application for admission by the priority deadline, usually in early December. This way, you will be automatically considered for any merit-based scholarships for which you may be eligible.

In addition to scholarships, you should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your financial aid eligibility. The FAFSA will help you secure federal aid such as Pell Grants, work-study opportunities, and student loans.

Lastly, consider looking for external scholarships offered by various organizations, community groups, or foundations that either match your background or interests. There are many resources online to help you locate these scholarship opportunities.

Good luck with your college search and don't forget to apply for scholarships and financial aid to help reduce your overall college costs!
