💰 Cost of Attendance at Southeastern Louisiana University 2026-2027

📅 2026–2027 Planning Note: The costs below reflect the most recently published figures (2025–2026). Universities typically finalize the next year’s rates in the spring, and we’ll update this page once the university releases official 2026–2027 numbers.

Planning tip: At large public universities, tuition, fees, and housing usually increase modestly each year (often in the 2–5% range). For early budgeting, families may want to plan for roughly $1,000–$1,500 more in-state or $2,000–$3,000 more out-of-state in total direct costs once new rates are published.

The 2025–2026 estimated cost of attendance (COA) below reflects typical yearly expenses for a full-time undergraduate living on campus. Tuition is billed at a flat rate for 12–18 credit hours each semester. Out-of-state students are charged an additional nonresident fee unless they qualify for a waiver or the Academic Common Market (ACM).

Expense	In-State	Out-of-State
Tuition & Mandatory Fees	$8,372	$20,848
Housing & Meals (median)	$9,430	$9,430
Estimated Total (before aid)	$17,802	$30,278

Note: The figures above include only direct costs billed by the university (tuition, mandatory fees, housing, and meals). Other estimated expenses—such as books, transportation, and personal costs—are excluded here because they are not paid directly to Southeastern.

Average Net Price: $11,813 (2022–2023). This is what families actually paid after scholarships and grants—no loans included.

Academic Common Market (ACM): Students from eligible Southern states may qualify for in-state tuition on specialized programs not offered in their home state. A nonresident paying $20,848 in tuition and fees could pay $8,372 instead—a savings of roughly $12,500 per year. ACM participation requires state certification after admission and is not automatic.

Cost of Attendance FAQ

Who qualifies for in-state tuition?
Louisiana residents automatically qualify for in-state rates. Nonresidents can qualify through ACM or institutional waivers.

How much do families really pay?
The published in-state total is $17,802, but after scholarships and grants, families paid about $11,813 on average.

Is the Academic Common Market automatic?
No. Students must apply through their state’s ACM office after admission and be certified for an eligible program.

💎 Hidden Gem Scholarships

These aren’t the headline merit awards—but they can quietly shave thousands off the bill. Look here for ROTC benefits, Louisiana Guard waivers, Literary Rally awards, study-abroad/departmental funds, and small stackable scholarships most families miss.

Scholarship / Program	Award Amount	Eligibility (Plain English)	Separate App?	Renewable?	Who Actually Wins?	Deadline
Freshman Scholastic Achievement (Literary Rally)	$100 per 1st-place win, up to $400 (one-time)	District Literary Rally first-place winners who enroll at SLU after graduation	No — auto-awarded, proof required	No	Rally champions who enroll and submit documentation	Claim in first semester after enrolling
Louisiana National Guard Tuition Exemption (STEP)	Covers full base tuition (not fees; ≈$8,372/yr for undergrads)	Active, drilling LA National Guard member in good academic standing	Yes — via Guard & campus office	Yes — apply each semester, maintain Guard standing	Guard members in good standing who re-certify every term	Each semester, deadlines per Guard/SLU
Army ROTC Scholarship (federal)	Full tuition & fees or up to $10,000 room/board per year, $420/month stipend, $1,200/yr books	Academic/fitness/service requirements; participate in Army ROTC (LSU host, cross-enrollment from SLU)	Yes — ROTC national/campus board	Yes — service obligation after graduation	Top ROTC-qualified students via application/board	National/campus ROTC deadlines

Disclaimer: Endowed/first-gen award values vary year to year due to available funds. Guard and ROTC pay only base tuition (not all fees). Rally and SGA awards are one-time and stackable.

Music Department Scholarships — separate, competitive awards for music majors (via audition).
General departmental scholarships — available across fields (Business, Science, Education, etc.); apply via Foundation portal each spring. Awards and criteria vary by department/donor.

Hidden Gems FAQ

Do these require a separate application? Most do (see notes above). ROTC/Guard/foundation all require paperwork; rally is auto if proof submitted.

Can I stack with merit scholarships? Usually, yes. Federal programs (Guard/ROTC) prioritize tuition; most foundation and rally add-ons are stackable up to your cost of attendance.

When do deadlines fall? Foundation: February-March. ROTC: varies by national board/host campus. Guard: before fee payment. Rally proof: first enrollment term. Band: late spring/summer auditions.

🎖️ Honors College

Southeastern’s Honors Program is designed for motivated students who want smaller classes, closer faculty mentorship, and a chance to stand out with an Honors diploma. Admission is by application after you’ve been admitted to the university, and applying early is encouraged for best access to perks like Honors housing.

What a Typical SLU Honors Student Looks Like:
High school GPA around 3.5 or higher, strong ACT/SAT scores (many with 27+ ACT), completion of AP or dual enrollment coursework, involvement in leadership or service activities. Minimum eligibility is 3.0 GPA and 24 ACT, but competitive admits are often higher.

Perks That Matter:

Priority registration each semester
Dedicated Honors housing in Ascension Hall (by application, space-limited)
Small, discussion-based seminars with top faculty
Mentored research and thesis opportunities
An Honors diploma notation, recognized by grad schools and employers

Scholarship	Award Amount	Eligibility	Separate App?	Renewable?	Who Actually Wins?	Deadline
Southeastern Honors Scholarship	$4,000/yr tuition + $3,000 housing (see automatic merit grid)	ACT ≥30 (superscore 32+), GPA ≥3.0; awarded automatically to top freshmen including many Honors admits	No (via admission/scholarship file)	Yes — maintain full-time and GPA	Freshmen who meet GPA/ACT for Honors and submit admission by Jan 15	Jan 15 priority (for both admission and scholarship)

Honors Program FAQ

Is admission automatic?
No. You submit a separate Honors Program application after being admitted to SLU.

Does Honors add time to a degree?
No. Honors classes are designed to fulfill core requirements, so most students complete their degree in four years.

Is there a separate “Honors-only” scholarship?
No published Honors-exclusive awards beyond the Southeastern Honors Scholarship, which is awarded to top freshmen regardless of Honors status but commonly received by Honors admits.

When should my student apply?
As soon as they’re admitted to SLU—early applications maximize access to Honors housing and enrollment perks.
