STUDENTS COSTS
State University Fee
It costs the CSU almost $11,000 annually to educate a student.
Of that amount, the state pays approximately 70 percent, in-state
students pay 25 percent, and the rest comes from sources such
as private donations, grants and contracts.
The CSU undergraduate fee is the lowest among comparable institutions
nationwide.
The 2003-04 undergraduate fee of $2,046 applies to students
with more than six credits. Those taking six units or less
pay slightly more than half of the full-time fee. Graduate
fees are currently $2,256. Out-of-state students pay the State
University Fee, plus $282 per semester unit or $188 per quarter
unit.

200,000 students, half of the total student population. The
average award was $6,853.
Presidential scholar programs, which provide full scholarships
to National Merit finalists and high school valedictorians,
are also found at many CSU campuses.
