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
Murray has been on Kiplinger's Rankings for Best Value Colleges. There are many scholarships available through the school, there's at least one that you qualify for. Also there are free or cheap activities on campus frequently, from movies to luaus to singing.
Kayley from Morganfield, KY
Murray State University is one of the least expensive universities in all of Kentucky, but one does not trade the lack of expenses for a valuable education.
Katherine from Murray, KY
Murray State, like most colleges, is a little expensive for out of state students, but I would recommend it to both in-state and out-of-state students looking for a good home for the next four years.
Caroline from Lincoln, NE
It is very inexpensive and you receive a decent education.
Corinne from Saint Louis, MO
Murray State is definately worth the price. The classes are very informative and the dorms really arent too bad either.
Bayly from Murray, KY
I believe this is a steal to be honest.
Donald from Paducah, KY
cheapest university in kentucky while getting a grade a education. anymore need to be said?
grant from dawson springs, ky
They have one of the least expensive tuitions of most colleges. Its easier to get tuition paid for through scholarships. Plus you wont be cheated this is a good school that will challenge you, not a party school.
Lace from Murray,KY
For me attending Murray is expensive, but I am a out of state student. I pay around 28 G a year. For instate student Murray is a great price though. Most in-state students pay about 14-15 G from my understanding. There are also a lot of scholarships open.
