Estimated Costs for International Students from the Western Hemisphere

Non-US students who are citizens of a Western Hemisphere country, including the Caribbean, Canada and Latin America, are given special consideration for an NTW Scholar Award if they are admitted. NTW Scholar Awards waive 100% of the non-resident portion of tuition, rounded down to the nearest $100 each academic year. Note that awards through the NTW Program waive no part of the resident portion of tuition and are subject to the terms of the application and award letter.

For undergraduate students, the non-resident portion of tuition from 2006-07 to 2011-12 has been approximately $7575. These amounts are subject to change for future academic years.

 Tuition and Fees for the nine-month 2011-12 academic year

*Flat tuition & fee rate for students taking 12-18 credits per semester, i.e. the cost to take 12-18 credits in one semester is the same. Non-resident students pay both resident tuition and the non-resident surcharge.

The figures above do not include MEDICAL INSURANCE, which costs $1,040 for 12 months of coverage, or BOOKS & SUPPLIES, for which students should budget approximately $800 per year. Also not included above are PERSONAL & TRAVEL EXPENSES, which each individual student ultimately determines. We estimate that students should budget at least $2,040 per year for personal expenses. . Summer-related expenses or insurance for participation in varsity athletics are not included in the figures above.

Note that in the US, the average increase for university tuition is 6% per year. In recent years, increases for UW-Superior international students have been slightly below the national average.
