Hey there! I'm a junior from outside North Carolina, and I'm really interested in UNC Chapel Hill. Can anyone shed some light on the out-of-state tuition for this school? How much of a difference is it compared to in-state tuition?
Hey! UNC Chapel Hill is indeed an excellent school, and it's great that you're considering it. Out-of-state tuition at UNC Chapel Hill is significantly higher compared to in-state tuition. For the 2023-2024 academic year, the out-of-state tuition and fees were approximately $18,680, while in-state tuition and fees were around $3,509. That's quite a difference!
Keep in mind that these numbers are just for tuition and fees, and additional costs such as room and board, books, and personal expenses should also be considered when planning your college budget. Additionally, tuition and fees may change from year to year, so be sure to check the UNC Chapel Hill website for the most up-to-date information when you apply.
While the cost may seem steep, don't be discouraged. There are financial aid opportunities available for out-of-state students as well. Make sure to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to see what kind of federal aid you might qualify for, and be on the lookout for scholarships and grants that you could apply for. The university also has some scholarships and aid programs specifically for out-of-state students, so make sure to explore those options as well. Good luck with your college search!
