The value of an Indiana University Indianapolis education is unmatched. You’ll find affordable tuition to start, with ample opportunities for additional funding to help you pay for college. The best part? You’ll earn an IU Indianapolis degree employers love—and go further in your career.

We’re here to help you every step of the way, from estimating costs to attend IU Indianapolis, to navigating financial aid, to applying for scholarships, and more.

See how much your IU Indianapolis education will cost

Your costs to attend IU will vary based on where you’re from—Indiana, outside of Indiana, outside the U.S.—and whether you’re an undergraduate or graduate student. 

If you’re from Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Puerto Rico, or Wisconsin, your estimated cost may be significantly less than that of an out-of-state student from a different state due to our Indiana Partners Tuition program. If you're from one of these select Midwest states, see how you can save more than $64,000 in tuition at IU Indianapolis.
