How much does UToledo cost?
We know an American college education is a big investment. But we believe a University of Toledo education is worth it.
Most new students don’t pay full price. More than 90% of UToledo international undergraduates receive scholarships or special tuition rates.
Our tuition guarantee helps you budget. The tuition you pay your first year as an undergrad will be the same tuition you pay in Year 4. Your on-campus housing and meal plan rates won't change from Year 1 to Year 4, either.
We believe in transparency. Listed below is the average amount full-time, international undergraduate students pay per year. Your cost to attend UToledo will vary by college, program and other options.

(In-state tuition and fees averaged $11,885 for the 2022-23 academic year.) You won't have to pay the surcharge that most students who live outside of Ohio are charged. That saves you about $8,860 a year!
Note: International transfer students do not qualify for this special, in-state tuition rate. Students receiving the International Scholar Tuition Rate do not qualify for International Rocket Award.
