Net Price Calculator

As part of our commitment to financial clarity and price transparency, Western Connecticut State University is announcing the launch of a new and improved net price calculator. Our goal is to ensure that every student understands what it will cost to attend Western Connecticut State University and that all students see it as an affordable option.

This calculator is intended to provide estimated net price information (defined as estimated cost of attendance – including tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board (meals), and other related expenses – minus estimated grant and scholarship aid) to current and prospective students and their families based on what similar students paid in a previous year.

In just a few minutes, you’ll get a personalized estimate based on your family’s financial situation, so you can plan confidently and make informed decisions about your education.

At the end of the calculator, you’ll have the option to share your results with WCSU. We encourage you to do so — someone from our Admissions team will be happy to follow up and answer any questions you may have!

NOTE: The estimate provided using this calculator does not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance, or a final net price; it is an estimate based on cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in a previous year. Cost of attendance and financial aid availability change year to year. The estimates shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the institution of higher education, or the State.

Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be eligible for, and receive, an actual financial aid award that includes Federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance. For more information on applying for Federal student aid, go to https://studentaid.gov
