Financial Aid
Can you afford SDSU?
Yes!
Unless you're one of the fortunate few who lands a full-ride to college, coming up with the finances you'll need will take some figuring. Don't worry—we can help.
Don't let the thought of financing your education at SDSU scare you. Before you consider the cost, first consider the value of the education you'll get here. Investing in a degree at South Dakota State University is well worth it. Why? SDSU is ranked by US News and World Report as one of the best universities in the nation. What's more? Our costs are competitive with other public universities that have fewer options and well below the costs of most private colleges. This gives you an exceptional combination of quality and value for your education.
Did you know that more than 91 percent of our student body receives some form of financial aid? Last year, our financial aid package averaged more than $8,450 per eligible student. Assistance in the form of loans, scholarships, grants, and even part-time employment, makes attending SDSU possible.
Don't let the cost of a great education get in the way of your future. Let's see what we can do for you.
