Which of these a student actually clears depends on GPA, test score, home state, and major. A free Graidy account works that out award by award, and shows what is left to pay after it.
Cost of attendance as published: tuition, fees, housing, and food for one year. It is the sticker, before any of the awards above and before need-based aid.
Every amount on this page was read off a Michigan Technological University page on the date shown. Schools change award tables, so check the school's page before you count on a number.
