Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

You get a lot out of paying very little. All four years at FSC is equivilant to one year at a big name school!
Lauren from Wrentham, MA
Definitely worth the money. You're getting a good education for the cheapest price in MA.
Steph from Northborough, MA
Framingham has just risen from the cheapest, to the second cheapest state school in Massachusetts. The campus is truly beautiful and the dorms are better than expected. The education is just as good as any prestigious institution.
Amber from West Wareham, MA
From every college I applied to during my senior year of high school FSU was the most affordable. For MA residents it is no more than $15,000 per year. I have a single dorm and my full tuition is still a bit below $15000.
