It depends on the individual student. Tuition is the same across the board (whether in state or out of state). Once a student applies and if they are accepted, they will receive an initial financial aid package. This may include things like academic merit-based scholarships, athletic scholarships if applicable, donor funded scholarships, outside scholarships, Florida state aid, and federal aid. Once you put in an application to Â鶹ӳ»­ and if you are accepted, your admissions counselor can begin to discuss specifics about your individual financial aid package.
