Indiana University-Southeast

What is the cost of studying for a year at Indiana University-Southeast?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $8,424 for Indiana residents: $7,717 in tuition plus $707 in fees. The comparable out-of-state total was $22,811, including the same reported fees. Residency classification therefore makes a substantial difference to the published price.

Reported room and board averaged $12,140, and books and supplies were estimated at $1,290. Adding those amounts to resident tuition and fees gives $21,854, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation and personal expenses can add materially to a student's budget. Commuters and residents will also have different living costs. Students should use a single, current academic year's official budget when comparing offers rather than combine figures from different years.

Published charges are not necessarily what a student pays after aid. In the reported aid data, 89% of students received some form of financial aid, while 29% had student loans. For students in the lowest reported family-income bracket, the average net price was $4,978. Averages conceal individual differences in grants, eligibility, enrollment level, and living arrangements.

Eligible students may pursue federal grants and loans, Indiana state aid, IU scholarships, and applicable military or veteran education benefits. Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the usual starting point for need-based aid. Applicants should check the current priority dates for state and campus awards and compare aid offers by separating grants, which generally do not require repayment, from loans and expected earnings from work.

What are the work-study opportunities at Indiana University-Southeast?

IU Southeast students can pursue part-time employment and career-development support while enrolled. Federal Work-Study, when offered in an individual aid package, is a need-based student employment program - not an automatic grant or a guarantee that a job will be available.

A student offered Work-Study typically must obtain an eligible position and earns wages for hours worked. Other campus jobs may be available without Work-Study eligibility, while internships have their own academic, pay, and application rules. The financial aid office can explain Work-Study eligibility; campus hiring resources and career services can help students look for openings.

Career planning services include résumé preparation, individual counseling, job-search resources, and job fairs. These are practical ways to explore work, but they should not be confused with verified job-placement outcomes.
