3. Review Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the tuition cost at Nicholls State University, for international students?
Please CLICK HERE to view our estimated cost of attendance for undergraduate/graduate students. Currently, international students at Nicholls do not pay out-of-state fees, making us a highly affordable option for international students desiring a quality education.
- Can you provide a waiver for the application fee?
Our admissions office is not waiving application fees. It is important to note that the application fee is only a small fraction of the overall expenses associated with attending a university in the USA (even when students are able to obtain a scholarship or graduate assistantship). Therefore, we strongly advise you to carefully consider your financial capabilities before pursuing education in the USA.
- Do I have to pay tuition fees before I can gain admission, or before I arrive at Nicholls State University?
Your admission is not conditional on paying your tuition fees in advance. Tuition fees, typically, are due the Friday before the start of classes, and therefore, you will not be required to pay any portion of your tuition fees before that time.
