No place so close can take you so far. Salem State University serves students from across the country and around the world. However, many of our students come from right in our own backyard.
Salem State offers competitive in-state tuition that saves students thousands over private colleges. Not only do students graduate with a quality education, but they are not buried in huge student loan debt. To further help our local students, we are offering scholarships to students from Salem and the surrounding areas.
