Tuition & Fees

With all that it provides, a Tulane education is of great value.

Using gifts to the university combined with other sources, Tulane pays, on average, 40 percent of the actual cost of educating each student through our extensive merit-based and need-based scholarship programs. Regardless of your family's income, this combination of factors can make Tulane surprisingly affordable and an investment that never stops yielding returns.

The following is the projected 2012 - 2013 cost of attendance for undergraduate students enrolled full-time in one of the full-time divisions (Newcomb-Tulane College, School of Architecture, A.B.
