Cost
Before deciding on a college, it's important to discuss finances with your family. With tuition, fees, books, supplies, and room and board, it all adds up. But remember, the printed cost of a higher education institution doesn't necessarily mean that is what you will have to pay. There are many resources available to help, including the following types of aid that can be included in a financial aid package:
- grants
- scholarships
- loans
- Federal Work-Study
The Illinois Advantage
As a public university, the University of Illinois' tuition rate is much less than comparable private universities and colleges. For more details on tuition, fees, and financial aid, visit Illinois' Office of Student Financial Aid Web site.
