It is important to note that the total cost of attendance at Tulane will vary depending on your enrollment status (full-time or part-time) and your residency (on campus or commuting).
In addition, our costs typically increase 3-5% each year, though our need-based financial aid offerings attempt to meet these annual increases. Grants and scholarships may cover anywhere from $1,000 to your full cost of attendance.
