At Southern Illinois University, we believe that access to quality education shouldn't be limited by geography or burdened by excessive costs. That’s why our online undergraduate programs offer the same tuition rate to all students—no out-of-state tuition charges. Whether you're in Illinois or across the country, you’ll benefit from the same affordable rate.
In addition to tuition savings, our mandatory fees are lower for online students, making it easier to pursue your degree without the added expense of on-campus services you won’t use. This means more value, more flexibility, and fewer financial barriers to earning your degree.
SIU Online students are eligible for scholarships and federal financial aid. Fill out the FAFSA and SIU’s General Scholarship Application. You will automatically apply for all scholarships for which you are eligible, including program scholarships, with this application.
We even have scholarships for part-time, online students: Saluki TOPS Scholarship
