Because Vincennes is test-optional, use this plan only if you choose to submit scores or want to qualify for score-based scholarships like the Presidential or Blue and Gold awards. Take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes to improve your superscore before the scholarship or application deadline you are targeting.

What you'll actually pay
At Vincennes, in-state tuition is $6,551, while out-of-state tuition is $16,283. Use these figures as a starting point, then review grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans to understand what your actual cost may look like.

As a public university, Vincennes lists out-of-state tuition at $16,283, while Indiana students pay $6,551 before housing and other expenses. Room and board adds about $13,118, so living on campus can make the total cost much higher than tuition alone. Published scholarships include awards from $1,000 to $3,000 for eligible students, so families should still plan around need-based aid and remaining costs.
