YSU Tuition Estimator

Welcome to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship's Tuition Estimator. This tool allows students to estimate tuition, including room/board, for the academic term of their choice. Students can select to view a tuition estimate by semester or academic year.


Select Tuition Cohort

Beginning 2018-2019, Youngstown State University implemented a Penguin Tuition Promise. The promise is a cohort-based tuition, room and board, and fee model that will provide all new, transfer, and re-admitted degree-seeking undergraduate students and their families the certainty that rates will be frozen for four years. Please select the cohort that best reflects your admission or enrollment at Youngstown State University.


Select the Tuition Type and Academic Term

Please select the type of tuition rate and the academic term (year or semester) for which you are seeking a tuition estimate. Fees are updated to reflect the 2023-2024 fee schedule at Youngstown State University.
