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.

Wright State does a great job of utilizing your money to best suit your needs. You get help whenever you need it, and they never waste your money. They try their best to obtain money for you if you need it too.
Jacob from Ohio
I thought Wright State was not much better than a Community College because so many people went there from my school and it was a really easy school to get into. However, Wright State leads Ohio in many different areas throughout the nation and its a great education for the little amount you actually pay.
Kyle from Jamestown, OH
It's just about (if not actually) the cheapest four year school in Ohio. For the price it's definitely the best education you are going to get.
Jacqueline from Dayton, OH
Wright State is definitely less expensive than other universities I considered, but I'm so glad I chose it! I'm getting good quality of education, most of my professors have been wonderful, and the campus is great! I love knowing that I'm going to leave here with a degree, and not a massive amount of debt.
Mallory from Hamilton, OH
I choose Wright State because of the great cost! I'm a commuter so it only cost me about $11,000 a year with tuition, food and book money! I would recommand this school to anyone who doesn't want a huge debt at the end of school.
Alissa from Springfield, OH
WSU is the best college in the area for the price! It has all the fun of a big college, with the perks of a small community college. Many clubs and other involvement opportunities, and small class sizes and a small cost!
Bridget from Franklin, OH
Tuition is really cheap compared to other schools. But it is impossible to escape the expensive books and food.
Jessica from Bellbrook, OH
Very good price for college, especially if you go undecided or just want to get your general education courses out of the way. They offer lots of scholarships as well, so you won't be stressed with a huge tuition bill.
Courtney from Englewood, OH
Very affordable and you get a great education as well!
