Scholarships and Endowments
One of the most important experiences Ferris State University graduates share is successful entrance into the job market. With a 98 percent placement rate, Ferris graduates are highly sought by employers for their ability to make a smooth transition from college student to valued employee. In order to get to that first job interview, they first must gain the educational experiences needed to pursue their chosen career.
Scholarship assistance is critical to many FSU students as they work toward their educational and professional goals. With 82 percent of our students receiving financial aid, the demand for student assistance exceeds the available supply of dollars - projections show this trend will continue. To ensure the opportunity to become an FSU graduate, development of scholarship programs at the University is one of our top priorities. Individuals, companies and organizations have demonstrated their understanding of the importance of helping students, our future in the workforce, by establishing scholarships.
In-State tuition and fees for the 2007-08 academic year amounts to $8,781. Students living on-campus pay an average of $7,646 for room and board. Adding estimates of other expenses such as books ($1,200) and personal expenses ($2,200) makes the average annual cost of attending Ferris State University $19,827.
