If I am selected to receive WICHE PSEP support, how much will I pay in tuition?

To calculate your exact tuition charges after your PSEP support, contact your enrolling institution. Keep in mind that the “support fee” funds for each WICHE PSEP student are sent directly to the enrolling institution, not to each student.

If you are enrolled at a public institution, you will pay resident tuition, although there are two exceptions, described below. The institution receives the support fee funds, helping to cover the tuition differential that a nonresident would normally have to pay. (Public schools receive state tax dollars to supplement the cost of their residents’ education. Since nonresidents don’t supply these tax dollars, your state helps to make up the tuition differential.)

EXCEPTIONS: (1) If you are enrolled in a “self-funded” program at a public institution, where there is no difference between resident and nonresident tuition, then you will pay the balance of the full tuition minus the support fee. (2) If you are a pharmacy student enrolled at a public institution, the enrolling program may charge you the balance of the support fee minus nonresident tuition; this is because the pharmacy support fee is lower and is not currently set to cover tuition differentials at public institutions.

If you are enrolled at a private institution, you will pay the balance of private tuition minus the support fee.
