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
The new dorms are absolutely worth every penny. You are able to have your own room or if you wish to share you can! The beauty about them is that you do not have to share a bathroom with more than 1 other person. This makes it a lot more convenient to plan schedules.
The meal plans are also very flexible for the needs of the students. The campus offers flex dollars, meal swipes, and Rock Dollars. Rock Dollars are also accepted at our local Giant Eagle (grocery store) and the restaurants on Main Street.

Yes, it's actually a affordable school for a college! I'm out of state and it's cheaper then some school's in my state.
Brian from Baltimore, MD
Slippery Rock is very affordable, and so far, I feel that I am getting a quality education.
Amy from Coraopolis, PA
Slippery Rock is a cheaper college and you will most certainly get your moneys worth. The professors are awesome, facilities great, and the times you will have on campus are priceless.
Taylour from Bainbridge, PA
Your money is well spent at Slippery Rock. They have different meal plans to fit every person's needs. They also have options for flex that can be spent anywhere on campus and a system called Rock Dollars which is like a pre paid credit card. It can be used anywhere on campus and also at select places in the actual town. Including the Subway, McDonalds, Giant Eagle, Tattoo places and many other shops in town.
Jamie from New Castle, PA
A great school for little cost. School costs can really creep up on you but Slippery Rock offers several opportunities to make money. They have so many on campus jobs and financial help.
Russel from Uniontown, PA
Quaker Steak has nights where they will do $0.60 boneless wings, and other special events throughout every month during the school year. The bookstore will sell special event, or game day t-shirts for 5-10 dollars throughout the year. This is a great way to stock up for Green and White Fridays! The Bookstore also has an awesome Christmas sale every year.
Cassidy from Zelienople, PA
I consider SRU a bargain school. This is a great quality, D2, out-of-state/in-state school. The price is not too much and out of it you get many free events, great education, great social life, and an overall great experience. I would never pay more for another school. This school is a great price that offers many scholarships, and it is just an overall wonderful school.
