Net Price Calculator

Welcome to the Eastern Kentucky University Net Price Calculator!

By entering estimates of your family income and student academic information, in just a few minutes this calculator will show you an estimate of the financial aid and out-of-pocket costs involved in what will be one of the most important investments you will ever make – a college education.

Your personal information is not required to complete the NPC, but by providing it, you allow us to communicate with you additional academic and financial information at EKU.

How Do I Calculate My Expected Cost to Attend Eastern Kentucky University?

In accordance with federal guidelines, Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) is happy to provide students and their families with a tool called the Net Price Calculator so that the student can estimate the costs of attending EKU and begin the financial planning process.

The Net Price Calculator is designed to provide the student an estimate of the total cost that a new first-year, full-time undergraduate student can expect to pay to attend EKU, along with an estimate of the financial assistance a student is estimated to receive to assist in meeting those expenses. These estimates are based on the expectation that the student will be considered full-time at 12 or more credit hours per semester.

Important Notice

The Net Price Calculator is not an official application for financial aid. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for financial assistance at EKU.
The results provided are only an estimate based on award rules and cost of attendance for the 2024-25 academic year and do not guarantee the actual financial aid you will receive.
The estimate is subject to the accuracy of the information you provide and under the assumption that you will be enrolled in at least 12 hours per semester. Actual financial aid may change if you enroll in less than 12 hours or if financial and/or other family characteristics change and does not reflect any special circumstances, which may be considered when you officially file for aid.

Please Read:

By clicking the link below, the student acknowledges that he or she understands that the information provided is only an estimate and does not represent a financial determination, actual award of financial assistance, or final net price. The estimate shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, Eastern Kentucky University, or the State.
