What SIUE Costs Might Look Like for You
SIUE’s Office of Student Financial Aid aims to help students and families secure financial resources to realize their dreams of being a Cougar. In 2020, SIUE students received over $165 million in aid.
The Office of Student Financial Aid will help you navigate eligibility for a combination of grants, scholarships, student loans and student employment. Many factors will affect your financial aid package – savings, number of family members, number of students in college and student earnings. Here are some examples of what financial aid might look like for you.*
The Cost of Attendance is different for each student; factors such as degree programs, credit hours enrolled, housing selection and course-specific fees are considered in how much it may cost for you to attend SIUE. Most programs are based on full-time enrollment. Feel free to use our Net Price Calculator for an early estimation how much your financial aid can help cover your expenses.
