Important disclosures
Please note: The estimates above apply to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students only. You can view current MTSU costs for registration, housing, meals, and miscellaneous fees at https://www.mtsu.edu/tuition
These estimates do not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance or a final net price; they are only estimates based on cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in 2024-2025. Cost of attendance and financial aid availability changes year to year. These estimates shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the institution of higher education, or the State.
Not all students receive grant and scholarship aid. In 2024-2025, 95% of our full-time students enrolling for college for the first time were awarded grant/scholarship aid. Students may also be eligible for student loans and work-study. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to determine their eligibility for Federal financial aid that includes Federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance. For more information on applying for Federal student aid, go to https://studentaid.gov/. During the 2024-25 award year, 97% of our full-time students enrolling for college for the first time received financial aid assistance through one or more sources of aid, inclusive of grants, scholarships, federal work-study, and student loans. For more information regarding financial aid at MTSU, please visit https://www.mtsu.edu/financial-aid/.
Many students find it necessary to finance their education through the Federal Direct Loan Program and/or private student loans. Students are encouraged to create a monthly budget of their expenses in relationship to their monthly income when determining the amount to borrow.
