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
Ohio's tuition is expensive, and it is almost cheaper for me to attend out-of-state at Kentucky as it is for me to go to school in Ohio.
Kristen from Pickerington, OH
College is expensive... period. It's not that UK has an outrageous price. It's actually significantly cheaper than most colleges. The only thing I was disappointed about was that in order to get any of the scholarships offered by the college, you have to get a 26 on your ACT. If you don't, you have to rely on other forms of scholarship money.
Kelsey from Georgetown, KY
UK could offer more scholarships, but being a public school I understand. I also wish that so many jobs on campus weren't just for those that qualify for financial aid. Overall, it's decent. The hidden fees are the worst- but what school doesn't have those?
Theresa from Lousiville, KY
UK is worth every penny they footed out of pocket for me to come here. I am very happy with my decision of school.
Demetria from LOUISVILLE, KY
