Tuition & Costs
The Penn State Board of Trustees sets the tuition and fees for the upcoming academic year in their July meeting. Because Penn State’s tuition rates vary by campus, student level, program, and residency, the student tuition calculator below provides specific tuition rates for individual students. (Military-connected students: learn about possible tuition benefits.)
91% of our students received some sort of financial assistance in 2023. This assistance, determined primarily by need, is comprised of federal and state grants, student loans, academic scholarships, and work study.
We know families carefully consider the value of the investments they make, and education is no exception. Penn State Wilkes-Barre prides itself in partnering with students and families to help meet their needs, from academics to student engagement and affordability.
Students may qualify for financial aid programs that ease the financial burden associated with completing a college degree.
