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
living on campus is okay. i now have moved off campus and although i am saving money i do miss being involved and always around people. the food is okay but the cafeteria setting is great! not to mention i feel as though i am getting the best art education possible in georrgia and for this price?! i wont be in student loan dept forever and that is fantastic!
Briana from Roswell, GA
GSW has on of the lowest tuition rates in Georgia! Not only are you get a great education, but you are also getting it at a great price!
Chelsea from Shellman, GA
The prices seem fair, activities on campus are most always free for students. Georgia Southwestern is one of the less expensive schools in the state. I think for the amount students are asked to pay, things are reasonable. There are free services available to students, a writing center for help with writing papers, free tutors in most every subject, career services to help students get a job on or off campus. There are many many benefits
Daniele from Stone Mountain, GA
GSW is the most affordable school in the state of Georgia. Residents of Alabama and Florida are eligible for in-state tuition. The school has a lot of scholarships you can apply for and federal work study. I am in the work study program and get to work on campus in the English Language Institute. We have free tutoring and online tutoring. There's a $500 scholarships anyone who wants to study abroad can apply for also!
Victoria from Fortson, GA
It is one of the most affordable colleges in Georgia. I love it, because the only way I can pay for college is through scholarships. I should be able to finish college here without any debt due to the large amount of scholarships avaliable and Georgia HOPE
