University of Findlay tuition for Indian students is $40,698 (INR 38.83 Lakhs) per year for standard undergraduate majors and runs from $495 to $999 per credit hour (INR 47,234 to INR 95,325) at the graduate level, with MBA, MS Computer Science, PharmD, Occupational Therapy, and Physician Assistant among the most sought programs by Indian applicants.
The Spring 2027 intake (January 2027) is the realistic entry point right now, with a 10 November 2026 international deadline. Fall 2026 is not workable given F-1 visa processing of three to eight weeks, so the meaningful decision is submitting a complete Spring 2027 file before November to lock the seat plus the auto-assessed merit scholarship.
Headline yearly rates for the 2026-27 fee year that will apply to Spring 2027 entrants at University of Findlay:
A four-year Findlay BS with on-campus housing sits near INR 2.30 Crore gross and drops to roughly INR 1.34 Crore after the Trustee scholarship. A two-year graduate program lands between INR 30 Lakhs and INR 55 Lakhs depending on discipline.

University of Findlay charges the same standard undergraduate tuition of $40,698 (INR 38.83 Lakhs) per year across almost every BA and BS major, with two specialised tracks priced higher. Graduate tuition is billed per credit hour and varies sharply by discipline, so the total cost of a Masters depends on how many credits your program requires.
All UG rates below are for the 2026-27 academic year, split evenly across the Fall and Spring semesters. Students taking twelve or more credit hours are billed at the annual rate below.
| Programme | Per Credit Hour (USD) | Annual Tuition (USD) | Annual Tuition (INR) |

Graduate tuition is per credit hour, no annual flat rate. Program totals below assume the typical credit load Indian students carry per academic year.
| Program | Per Credit Hour (USD) | Per Credit Hour (INR) | Typical Annual Load (USD) | Typical Annual Load (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MA in Education | $495 | INR 47,234 | $14,850 (30 credits) | INR 14.17 Lakhs |
| MS Computer Science | $765 | INR 73,000 | $22,950 (30 credits) | INR 21.90 Lakhs |
| MBA (assumed 30 credits per year) | $765 | INR 73,000 | $22,950 | INR 21.90 Lakhs |
| MOT / OTD Occupational Therapy | $899 | INR 85,782 | $26,970 (30 credits) | INR 25.73 Lakhs |
| MS Physician Assistant | $999 | INR 95,325 | $29,970 (30 credits) | INR 28.60 Lakhs |
Source: University of Findlay Tuition and Fees, 2026-27. General Service Fee of $65 per credit hour applies to all graduate students.
Note: Unlike UK universities that price by course band, Findlay’s UG tuition is uniform across almost all majors, so switching from Business to Computer Science or Biology after the first semester carries no fee penalty. On the graduate side, the per-credit model lets you spread cost across three semesters instead of two if cash-flow is tight.

Findlay’s comprehensive fee (tuition plus mandatory charges) rose 3.8 percent between 2025-26 and 2026-27, in line with the national US private-university average of roughly 4 percent. Historical data older than one prior year is not archived on the university’s live tuition page, so the confirmed window is short.
| Academic Year | Comprehensive UG Fee (USD) | Comprehensive UG Fee (INR) | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-26 | $41,178 | INR 39.29 Lakhs | Baseline |
| 2026-27 | $42,740 | INR 40.78 Lakhs | +3.8% |
Source: University of Findlay Tuition and Fees, 2026-27. 2025-26 comprehensive figure calculated by reversing the university’s stated 3.8 percent increase.
Key Insight: The Spring 2027 intake is billed at the 2026-27 rate you see above. The Fall 2027 intake, opening after Spring, will move to the 2027-28 rate, if the 3.8 percent trend holds that is roughly INR 1.49 Lakhs more per year for the same degree. Locking in Spring 2027 preserves the current rate for the whole first year.
Findlay is a small Ohio city of roughly 40,000 people, one of the cheapest college towns in the Midwest. The university’s own published cost of attendance puts room and board at $13,704 (INR 13.08 Lakhs) per year for on-campus residents, well below what Indian students pay in Boston, New York, or the Bay Area.
| Expense | Monthly (USD) | Monthly (INR) | Annual (INR) | Notes for Indian Students |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On-campus housing (average) | $715 | INR 68,225 | INR 6.82 Lakhs | Nine-month academic year, roughly $2,700 to $4,450 per semester |
| On-campus meal plan (average) | $540 | INR 51,527 | INR 4.86 Lakhs | 10, 14, or unlimited swipes; unlimited plan best value for Indian students |
| Off-campus rent (shared 2-bed) | $500 to $700 | INR 47,710 to INR 66,794 | INR 5.73 to 8.02 Lakhs | Common for PG students after semester 1 |
| Groceries (cook at home) | $220 | INR 20,993 | INR 2.52 Lakhs | Indian groceries stocked at Kroger and Walmart in Findlay |
| Transport (Findlay is car-optional) | $80 | INR 7,634 | INR 0.92 Lakhs | Free campus shuttle; car needed for Cleveland or Columbus trips |
| Personal, phone, entertainment | $180 | INR 17,176 | INR 2.06 Lakhs | Prepaid phone plans from Mint or T-Mobile start at $15 |
Sources: University of Findlay official 2026-27 room and board; Numbeo Findlay Ohio cost-of-living index for off-campus items.
Note: Findlay’s on-campus housing requirement applies to most first-year UG students, so budget the full $13,704 (INR 13.08 Lakhs) for room and board in year one. Graduate students and UG students past sophomore year can move off-campus and typically cut living costs by 20 to 30 percent.
Off-campus rent within a fifteen-minute walk of campus starts at $495 per month for a room in a shared apartment, per listings on ForRentUniversity and Apartments.com. That sits at INR 47,240 per month, less than half of what a Boston or San Francisco equivalent costs.
Currency Tip: Your first Spring 2027 tuition payment is due at registration in January 2027. Send it via Flywire (Findlay’s official international payment partner) or a forex card, both save 2 to 3 percent versus a raw SWIFT wire from an Indian bank. Split the transfer across two dates in December to hedge USD-INR volatility on the Spring 2027 instalment.
The all-in Year 1 cost for a standard UG major at University of Findlay is $59,937 (INR 57.19 Lakhs) before scholarships, dropping to $34,937 (INR 33.33 Lakhs) after the Trustee award for high-GPA applicants. Graduate students on a standard 30-credit-per-year Masters land near INR 40 Lakhs.
| Scenario | Tuition (USD) | Room + Board (USD) | Mandatory + Visa Fees (USD) | Total Year 1 (USD) | Total Year 1 (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UG standard, on-campus, no scholarship | $40,698 | $13,704 | $2,535 | $56,937 | INR 54.32 Lakhs |
| UG standard, on-campus, Trustee ($25,000) | $15,698 | $13,704 | $2,535 | $31,937 | INR 30.47 Lakhs |
| UG Animal Science, on-campus, Presidential | $18,024 | $13,704 | $2,535 | $34,263 | INR 32.69 Lakhs |
| PG MBA / MS CS (30 credits, off-campus 12 months) | $22,950 | $14,400 | $3,085 | $40,435 | INR 38.58 Lakhs |
| PG MS Physician Assistant (30 credits, off-campus) | $29,970 | $14,400 | $3,085 | $47,455 | INR 45.28 Lakhs |
Mandatory fees include Student Activity Fee $300, General Service Fee $1,200, Registration and Orientation $250, plus first-year visa spend (SEVIS $350, MRV $185, Visa Integrity Fee $250). Books and personal spend budgeted separately at roughly $3,000 (INR 2.86 Lakhs).
A four-year Findlay BS with the Trustee scholarship (renewable annually at the same GPA threshold) totals roughly $140,000 or INR 1.34 Crore over four years. A two-year MBA lands near INR 65 Lakhs including living costs, comfortably financed by an SBI or HDFC Credila education loan of INR 40 Lakhs, with an approximate EMI of INR 54,000 per month over 10 years at 10.5 percent.
Key Insight: For the Spring 2027 intake, the single biggest controllable cost lever is your admission GPA. A 4.0 GPA (or 90 percent CBSE / ISC equivalent) triggers the auto-assessed Trustee award of $25,000 (INR 23.86 Lakhs) per year, four-year saving of INR 95 Lakhs. Submit official transcripts before the November 10 deadline to lock this in for Year 1.

All Findlay merit scholarships for international undergraduates are auto-assessed at admission with no separate application. Graduate students receive a smaller flat award. Layering an India-side external scholarship on top can push the net cost below INR 25 Lakhs per year.
| Scholarship | GPA Threshold | Test Requirement | Annual Award (USD) | Annual Award (INR) |

| Trustee Scholarship | 4.0+ | ACT 27 / SAT 1290 / CLT 89 | $25,000 | INR 23.86 Lakhs |

Indian students admitted to Findlay for Spring 2027 or Fall 2027 remain eligible for the standard India-based awards. Application windows for the Spring 2027 cohort are open or opening shortly.

Tip for Indian Students: For Spring 2027 admission, submit your class 12 marksheet with a certified 4.0-equivalent GPA (roughly 90 percent CBSE / ISC or 8.5 CGPA) before the 10 November 2026 deadline. This alone triggers $25,000 (INR 23.86 Lakhs) in Trustee funding, no essay, no interview. If you also plan to apply to Inlaks for a Masters, stack the timelines: Findlay admission letter by mid-December feeds cleanly into the March Inlaks deadline.
Once admitted, a $500 (INR 47,710) non-refundable enrolment deposit releases your Form I-20 (the document you need to apply for the F-1 Student Visa) and secures your Spring 2027 seat. The deposit credits back to your Findlay student account against Year 1 tuition, so it is not an extra fee, just an earlier payment.
Findlay does not currently offer a documented full-year advance-payment discount, but the Spring 2027 balance can be paid in two instalments through the Nelnet payment plan (Findlay’s official monthly plan provider) for a small $50 (INR 4,771) sign-up fee per semester.
Source: University of Findlay International Apply Now page, deposit and I-20 workflow.
Tip for Indian Students: For Spring 2027 entry, pay the $500 (INR 47,710) deposit no later than 1 December 2026 so your Form I-20 arrives by mid-December. That leaves four to six weeks for the F-1 visa interview and visa stamping before Spring classes begin in mid-January 2027, right at the edge of the three-to-eight-week processing window.
Beyond tuition and room-and-board, Indian students routinely under-budget for the following. Add roughly $5,000 to $6,000 (INR 4.77 to 5.73 Lakhs) to Year 1 for the categories below.
Total Year 1 hidden-cost budget: INR 5 to 6 Lakhs on top of the sticker tuition and room-and-board.
Note: The line item Indian families most often miss is US student health insurance. It is not optional, Findlay auto-enrols you and bills the plan (typically $2,400, INR 2.29 Lakhs per year) to your student account if you have not submitted a waiver by day one of Spring 2027. Budget it up front.
The highest-value lever for a Spring 2027 applicant is the Trustee scholarship, which reduces the sticker fee by INR 23.86 Lakhs per year, four times the value of every other cost-cutting move combined. After that, five levers meaningfully move the total.
Tip for Indian Students: Your single most valuable Spring 2027 action is not a cost-cut, it is a document-cut. Have your class 12 official transcript in the international office’s hands before 10 November 2026 so the merit auto-assessment triggers at the top of the queue, not the bottom, that alone can be the difference between the Trustee ($25,000) and Faculty ($20,000) tier if borderline, worth up to INR 19.08 Lakhs over four years.
A four-year Findlay UG runs INR 1.34 Crore after Trustee scholarship, and a two-year Masters lands near INR 50 to 65 Lakhs. Weighed against a first-job US salary of $50,000 to $80,000 (INR 47.71 to 76.34 Lakhs) after OPT, that is a repayable investment for most disciplines, especially STEM.
Findlay is regionally ranked in the US News Best Regional Universities (Midwest) category and is best known for Pharmacy (PharmD), Occupational Therapy, Physician Assistant, Animal Science / Pre-Vet, and Equestrian Studies. Its 12:1 student-faculty ratio and a US News-reported six-year graduation rate above the national private-college average make it a solid mid-tier private option rather than a research heavyweight.
Post-study, Optional Practical Training gives every F-1 graduate 12 months of US work rights, and STEM-designated programs (MS Computer Science, MS Environmental Safety, MS Data Analytics) qualify for the additional 24-month STEM extension, a total of 36 months to earn in USD before considering an H-1B visa transfer.
An INR 40 Lakh education loan at 10.5 percent over 10 years carries an EMI of approximately INR 54,000 per month. Against a Findlay-graduate first-year salary near $65,000 (INR 62 Lakhs annually, roughly INR 5.16 Lakhs per month gross in the US), that EMI is 10 to 12 percent of gross monthly income, well within the 30 percent affordability rule of thumb.
Key Insight: For a Spring 2027 UG entrant with the Trustee scholarship, net Year 1 outflow is $31,937 (INR 30.47 Lakhs) instead of $56,937 (INR 54.32 Lakhs). Across four years, that is a saving of INR 95 Lakhs, enough to bring the total US degree cost inside a single INR 1.35 Crore loan bracket that a working parent can comfortably co-sign and service.
University of Findlay is a mid-tier US private university with a rare pricing quirk in your favour, uniform undergraduate tuition across majors and a per-credit graduate model that lets you flex load to cash-flow. Spring 2027 is the realistic first move for any Indian applicant reading this now, deadline 10 November 2026, deposit by 1 December, F-1 visa in January. A 4.0 GPA drops your net year-one cost to roughly INR 30 Lakhs and puts a four-year US Bachelors well within INR 1.35 Crore. If STEM-major, the OPT plus STEM extension gives you three post-study years to earn in USD, an EMI of INR 54,000 per month against a $65,000 first-job salary makes the math work.

Our curriculum and academics are up-to-date and I and my went to research and industrial training .
It is pocket friendly and wonderful University it is one of the best universities in usa and friendly teaching experience
General education/core classes are 100% waste of time. Courses that are specific to your major are very, very good. I love my classes and feel like they are preparing me for the field. GE classes have taught me little to nothing and I could have spent that time taking more major-specific classes.
Tuition is around 40k a year, but with aid, it is cut down to about 20k. There are a lot of hidden fees within courses, but they are added into your tuition each semester.
