It's HOW much?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Tulane University

<p>So i'm just wondering, perhaps from some parents with students at Tulane. How much exactly can I expect to pay each year? I received the 22k scholarship and am hoping to get additional money via CS Scholarship. But as of right now, what will be the damage?</p>

<p>P.S. No hope for financial aid.</p>

<p>Here’s the bad news (This is a PowerPoint presentation, if it opens at the beginning, the numbers are on the 20th or 21st slide I think):</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.tulane.edu/~finaid/2009%20Money%20Matters%20Fin%20Aid%20&%20AR.ppt#272,22[/url]”>http://www.tulane.edu/~finaid/2009%20Money%20Matters%20Fin%20Aid%20&%20AR.ppt#272,22&lt;/a&gt;, Cost of Attendance</p>

<p>Summarizing, it is $50,100 for tuition, fees, and room&board, $1,200 for books, and about $1,000 for spending money. transportation depends on where you are from. Since you are from Philly, assuming you can get cheap Southwest tickets and do 4 round trips a year, let’s say another $1,000. Oh, and this was for the class that just entered, I assume it is somewhat more this coming year.</p>

<p>So total is about $54,500 afeter expected increase. Leaves you with just over $32,000. Please don’t cry all weekend. Of course if you get the CS Scholarship that would reduce it by $5,000-$15,000, the latter obviously makes it highly significant. I hope that doesn’t knock Tulane out for you. But no question, it is expensive.</p>

<p>Don’t worry, definitely isn’t taking it off my list. So far its the cheapest school! I won’t get to visit until mid-March but I cannot wait!!!</p>

<p>The nice thing about that scholarship, DS got the same one, is that it brings the cost down to about that of a public school. Another way to look at it is that Tulane is willing to pay you $88,000 (+ maybe more $$$) to go there!</p>

</p>

<p>So true! UC tuition and other costs have gone up so much that I pay about the same (or maybe a bit less) for my son at Tulane.</p>

<p>From another parent in CA…</p>

<p>…and without the cutbacks going on at the UCs. A lot of kids will end up spending an extra year or two getting a four year degree due to class cutbacks.</p>

<p>There was a great segment on npr about the cutbacks at UCLA. Completely validates AVHS Dad’s statement. The link is [California</a> Budget Woes Hurt University System : NPR](<a href=“http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123035049]California”>California Budget Woes Hurt University System : NPR) but if this gets deleted just go to npr.org and type UCLA into the search box and see the story on “California Budget Woes”.</p>
