Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
Fashion Institute of Technology is considered one of the top fashion schools in the world but because of its affiliation with SUNY they are able to keep their tuition cost low. The cost of school a semester is about $11,000 for tuition and room and board!
Tina from Quincy, MA
The teachers really go all the way for the students. They want everyone to go above and beyond. Even a simple English class goes the extra mile.
Nicole from Somerset, NJ
I give this a 3 star because unless you are paying in state tuition i think FIT can get pretty expensive especially when living on campus. I paid like close to $30,000 for my first year only. Mind you the first year in FIT you aren't allowed to really apply for any FIT scholarships. The only time you can apply for an FIT scholarship is when you are in your second semester for upcoming school years. I was lucky to receive the FIT scholarship based on my GPA and academic achievement so thats gonna make this upcoming year a whole lot easier for me. So work hard because it literally pays off.
Talisa from Hialeah, FL
If you're a NY state resident, your tuition is pennies on the dollar compared to almost any other school. In-state tuition is less than $5,000 each YEAR. If you're international or out-of state, expect around $25,000, because that will include your dorming as well. There are so many payment options too, which makes those dreary zero's a little less severe to cope with.

fit in my opinion, is a must for anyone looking to be apart of the fashion industry.
maya from plattsburgh, ny
fit gives you the connections and networking to get anywhere in the industry. considering fit is a state school, the tuition (in state and out of state) is fairly inexpensive when comparing it to schools such as lim and parsons school of design.
Michelle Smith
Living in NYC, tuition is low for in-state students, so financial woes are non-existent.
W.V. from Brooklyn, NY
FIT is a state university so you are getting a great education at one of the top fashion schools for a good price.
Jessica from NC
It's pricey, especially for out of state students. Let's just say if your roommate is from the Bronx, and you're all the way from Arizona, expect to be paying 3x the amount he is.
Kedrick from New York, NY
This is a state university. For in-state students this is a great affordable school to attend. The education here is a steal for the tuition money.
