If you want to study at a university in the United States, you will have to deal with study fees as well as accommodation costs. These so-called study and accommodation costs in America vary greatly from one university to another. Depending on the school, total costs can range from about $10,000 to as much as $80,000 per year. This amount includes tuition, housing, meals, books, insurance and other school costs. This is a total package – not including any scholarships.
How much do you end up paying?
What you end up paying depends largely on whether you get a scholarship and how high it is. The amount of a scholarship is determined by several factors. Consider your athletic ability, academic performance, the university’s available budget and the number of spots within the team or program. Some students receive only an academic scholarship, while others receive an athletic scholarship or a combination of both. In many cases, this significantly reduces your total tuition costs.
Reduce study and living expenses with a scholarship
Universities in America award scholarships to students who add something to their programs – whether on the athletic field or in the classroom. The better your profile, the more likely you are to receive a higher scholarship. A full scholarship means you have to pay almost nothing for your studies and stay. But even a partial scholarship can make a big difference in the total cost of your education in America.
