Hey, I'm considering applying to Eastern Washington but before that, I really need to figure out the finances. How much exactly is the tuition? What is the estimated cost of attendance considering other expenses like boarding, meal plans, and textbooks?
The tuition expense at Eastern Washington University varies based on whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student. If you are in-state, for the 2024-2025 academic year, the cost is approximately $7,521. For out-of-state students, the tuition is around $24,894.
As for the complete cost of attendance, which also includes housing, food, books and supplies, it again varies on whether you're living on or off-campus. If you're residing on-campus, the total cost will be around $28,713 for in-state students, and about $46,086 for out-of-state students. These estimates include expenses like room and board ($15,574), books and supplies ($798), transportation ($1,776), and other miscellaneous expenses ($3,044).
Remember though that these are just estimates and personal expenses can cause variance. Moreover, like most universities, costs may rise slightly each year due to inflation.
Keep in mind that these costs do not account for any potential financial aid you might receive, which could reduce your overall cost significantly. Therefore, it's very important to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine what kind of aid you may qualify for. Also, don't forget to explore different scholarship opportunities and work-study programs that Eastern Washington University may offer.
