Indiana Tech: In-state vs. Out-of-State Tuition

Indiana Tech is a private, nonprofit institution, which means it has the same tuition for students from Indiana as it does for residents from other states.

Public schools receive funds from the state to help them cover costs. Public insitutions often offer reduced tuition for those who qualify as Indiana residents.

Attending an insitution where you qualify for in-state tuition can drastically reduce the overall cost of college. Don't forget to confirm your state's eligibility criteria for in-state tuition. Each state has different requirements to qualify as in-state resident. The most common requirement is that students must have lived in the state for a full year before starting school. There may be additional requirements as well, depending on the state you and your parents currently reside in.

Subsidized loans do not accrue interest during school, while unsubsidized loans begin accruing interest at the time the loan is issued. If students do no qualify for enough federal loans to cover the cost of tuition, some take out private loans. Parents can also take out ParentPLUS loans, which are government loans for parents who are helping their children pay for college.

When considering whether a school fits your budget, it is important to consider the estimated net cost, not just the sticker price of tuition. Often, schools with the highest tuition also offer the most generous aid packages, so estimate your net cost before eliminating a school because it does fit your budget.

The average amount of financial aid received by a full-time first year student with demonstrated need at IIT was $22,545 in 2022. By substracting the average financial aid package from the estimated costs, we get a number that may make the cost of IIT seem more manageable.

What will attending IIT really cost you? The answer depends on several factors.
