What's it going to cost?
The Office of Financial Aid provides an Estimate of Full Time Educational Costs for attending Oregon State University's Corvallis campus. Tuition costs for students vary depending on their residency status, course of study and degree level. Room and Board budgets vary for students that live on campus, off campus, or are considered commuters from home.
Online students can use the Ecampus Program Cost Calculator to get a better idea of the costs that they may face.
What will my benefits pay?
To compare your VA educational benefit options, the Department of Veterans Affairs provides the GI Bill® Comparison Tool.
NOTE: Oregon State University will not impose any penalty (e.g., interest charges, registration holds) due to the delayed disbursement funding from VA under chapters 31 or 33.
