Seattle University fees for Indian students start with a route choice: credit-priced postgraduate (PG) study or flat-rate undergraduate (UG) study. PG tuition ranges from $35,055 (INR 33.52 Lakhs) to $57,942 (INR 55.40 Lakhs) across selected master degree routes. UG tuition is $59,400 (INR 56.79 Lakhs) yearly, while Computer Science, Master of Science costs $48,285 to $52,577 (INR 46.17 to 50.27 Lakhs).
Seattle living costs are led by housing and meals near the First Hill campus. First Hill is Seattle University's main academic and residential area. A three-term room-and-meal budget ranges from $14,130 (INR 13.51 Lakhs) to $23,157 (INR 22.14 Lakhs). Off-campus housing is not billed by Seattle University, so lease deposits and utilities sit outside university invoices.
For Finance, Master of Science, the average first-year budget is $87,655 (INR 83.81 Lakhs) with 12-month living. A UG Computer Science first academic year is about $86,164 (INR 82.38 Lakhs) with university fees and visa costs. Exchange rate used: 1 United States dollar (USD) = Indian rupee (INR) 95.61 on 14 September 2026.

The small UG increase keeps Winter 2027 and Spring 2027 budgeting close to the current bill. Graduate students still need caution because semester billing begins after summer 2027.
Key Insight: Winter and Spring 2027 use the 2026-27 UG rate of $59,400 (INR 56.79 Lakhs). Fall 2027 follows the 15 January 2027 UG deadline, so refresh tuition before the visa file.
Seattle University estimates a 12-month PG living and supplies budget near $35,050 (INR 33.51 Lakhs). Housing is the largest living expenses line.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Housing | $1,748 (INR 1.67 Lakhs) | INR 1.67 Lakhs | $20,976 (INR 20.06 Lakhs) | Derived from the university nine-month housing budget of $15,732 (INR 15.04 Lakhs). |

Note: On-campus housing is a clearer first bill than private renting. The three-term room-and-meal spread is $9,027 (INR 8.63 Lakhs).
The cost of studying changes when meals and rent move outside the university bill. Keep a separate cash reserve for landlord deposits.
Currency Tip: Spring 2027 tuition balances are due on 20 March 2027. A card payment on $19,800 (INR 18.93 Lakhs) UG tuition can add about $584 (INR 55,836).

Seattle University scholarships are strongest at UG level, where merit awards start at $8,000 (INR 7.65 Lakhs) yearly. Graduate awards exist, but many amounts are offer-specific.

|---|---|---|---|
| First-year UG | $500 (INR 47,805) | After admission and before enrollment confirmation | Applied to tuition. A $200 (INR 19,122) refund applies before 1 May for first-year cancellation. |

Review F-1 student visa steps before scheduling the Form I-20 timeline
Hidden costs before arrival can reach $7,887 (INR 7.54 Lakhs) before airfare. The total depends on housing timing and visa steps.
Cash Needed Before Arrival
| Item | Amount (USD and INR) | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Master degree deposit | $250 (INR 23,903) | Credited toward tuition, not an added fee. |
| F-1 visa application and SEVIS fee | $535 (INR 51,151) | Paid outside Seattle University before visa issuance. |
| International student health insurance | $2,392 (INR 2.29 Lakhs) | University charge unless approved coverage replaces it. |
| First term triple room plus required meal plan | $4,710 (INR 4.50 Lakhs) | Relevant when campus housing is assigned. |
| Total cash marker | $7,887 (INR 7.54 Lakhs) | Excludes airfare, laptop, winter clothing, and private lease deposits. |

Budget approximately INR 2.80 Lakhs to INR 7.54 Lakhs for first-year hidden costs before airfare. The lower end excludes the first campus-housing payment.
Note: The SEVIS and visa total of $535 (INR 51,151) is easy to miss. It is due before the visa is issued, not after arrival.
The fastest saving for Winter and Spring 2027 is avoiding avoidable billed costs before the first quarter. Housing choice and payment method both change cash flow.
Tip for Indian Students: For Spring 2027, payment method is the quickest controllable saving. Avoiding a 2.95% card charge can protect about $584 (INR 55,836) on one UG quarter bill.
