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
Shawnee is one of the least expensive schools in Ohio. So not only am I getting a fantastic education, but I'm not breaking the bank to do so. For two semesters there I've only had to take out $2,500 in loans, plus they offer some amazing scholarships!
Nicole from Hamilton, OH
With paying under 20,000 a year for shawnee it is amazing that you can go to school for less but still get the same quality.
Courtney from Portsmouth, OH
Shawnee State University encourages students to use their financial aid office. They are open from 9:00 am-5:00 pm.
Charity from Williamsport, OH
Tuition at Shawnee State is relatively low, coming in at just over $10,000 for my first semester including housing, meal plans, and fees, so it's a great value.
Stephanie from Akron, OH
The coffee shop is amazing. They have amazing coffee and smoothies! They have little treats you can buy and I hear that they are really good. The book store has very good deals. You can buy hoodies, shirts, and pants. There are very many more things that you can buy in there and for really good deals.
Sara from Hillsboro, OH
Shawnee State University has low tuition rates and an outstanding academic program. Hands down, SSU is the most inexpensive four-year accredited university I've had the pleasure of attending.
Amanda from South Shore, KY
I'm getting every pennies worth every single day. So worth it.
