Do you have to pay tuition for uni/college?
-
I was always wondering about whether other people pay for their own tuition fee. I suppose this depends on where you go to university and what course you are doing. Well here in Australia, if a student gets a high enough entrance score, the government covers a majority of the tuition fees. For example, for my course, the government support cut off was if you scored 96+ out of 100, which I got luckily. I didn't have to pay a cent yet, but students who got lower had to pay $25k a year in tuition. Just wondering what is the story with other universities and countries. Could you state your country, university, what you are studying and whether you have to pay for all your tuition and how are you generating the money if you had to pay. And if you don't mind, your course name and how much you have to pay per year?

Answer:
The Universities and Colleges in the States often give Scholarships to help students cover tuition, these can be based on academics or athletics. Some pay full tuition, others pay partial tuition, some pay room and board others don't. Most students in the states end up taking loans or grants from the government, because they don't qualify for scholarships which are hard to get even if you are an A student. There are private scholarships that you can apply for, but they are also hard to come by. I personally take out loans for my tuition, they are government backed and have low APR's. I go to a private University that is set up for adult learners who are trying to finish their BA's. My tuition is usually around 15,000 a year, that does not include books or room and board. I am a liberal arts major with a focus on History and Literature, I graduate next week with my BA and will start Grad school for teaching in the fall.

Yes, in the USA, you pay your own tuition and expenses. You can apply for scholarships based on grades, but many only pay a small percentage of the fees. Very few schools give a full free ride to students. If you are very poor, you can receive some government grants.

G'day, In Indonesia, all high school leavers must take the public university national entrance test, regardless of their high school marks. When filling the application form for the test, they have to state the universities that they are interested to study in, and what course. If their test results are good enough, then it's down to the tuition fee negotiations stage. You will be interviewed by the university's panel. The golden rule is, if you are from the indigenous background, you will have pretty cheap tuition fee. There are also preferences given to the indigenous students on certain courses. If you are from the 'ethnics' background (ie Chinese, Indian or Arabic), it's going to be hard to get acceptance to certain courses and you will then have to pay a higher tuition fees compared to the indigenous students on the same course. The same thing happens as well in the private universities. Hope this gives some more information for you as a comparison.

I am in the United States in Florida and I attend University of Central Florida, I study psychology. I do not pay anything for tuition because I get full pell grants 1 from the government and 1 from the school which is great. For 2 classes it is a little over $600 and the rest is for books first then the rest is for me.

U.S.; Broome Community College; Business Information Management; I receive financial aid but it wasn't enough to cover most of it. I still had to pay majority of tuition. But because it was a community college, I'm only paying half for 3 years of college of what it would cost for you to have 1 year.
