Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

What Students Are Saying
Salisbury is expensive for out of state students, but manageable. They have a specific program for out of state nursing students, if you are accepted into SU's nursing program, and work in the state of Maryland for 4 years after graduation, Salisbury will lessen your tuition to the in-state rate. I know that college will affordable if I do get into the program, but finding the loans now with the current out of state rates is the hardest part.
Lauren from Egg Harbor City, NJ
Salisbury is relatively inexpensive as far as colleges go. Yet it still provides a strong education, nice dorms (they are currently in the process of renovatiing all the freshman dorms so provide private bathrooms, so they are only going to get nicer), and fantastic food (the dinning hall has a large variety and makes special meals for every holiday. it also has food events sometimes like lobster night and make your own pizza night).
Kimberly from Silver Spring, MD
Salisbury University is one of the cheapest in state schools for Maryland. In fact, to be honest it is not horribly expensive for out of state students either. And the cost is definitely worth it. I love the campus and enjoy that classes.
Jessica from Bel Air, MD
I feel like tuition and room and board are at a responsible price for what you get through the campus. They're currently updating the dorms on-campus and they are really lovely to be in.
Alexis from La Plata, MD
This is a very cheap school compared to anything out of state, and in state rates are relatively cheap. The money you pay provides many great resources, such as the library, which is a great resource.
Paige from Elkton, MD
In-state tuition is good, but out of state is still expensive for me. You get a lot living on campus or in affiliated apartments, so it's worth the money.
