Costs
In-State
Out-of-State
Since UWF is a public university, there are different costs for in-state students and out-of-state students. The sticker price at UWF is $21,528 for in-state students in FL, and $34,409 for out-of-state students. This sticker price includes costs for tuition, books and supplies, room and board, and other miscellaneous expenses.
It’s also important to note that the cost of attendance can vary from year to year and typically it will rise over your four years in college. With that said, your financial aid will also be recalculated every year to take any price increases, as well as any changes in your financial situation, into account.
Using State Grants at UWF
If you are considering UWF and you are from the state of Florida, be sure to look into the Bright Futures program. This is a state-run grant for Florida high school students who will be going to school in-state. You can use the money at both public and private institutions. The grant can cover up to 100% of your educational expenses if you qualify for Florida Academic Scholars.
