Hey everyone, I'm in the process of looking at colleges and University of Arizona seems interesting. Can anyone tell me their current tuition costs? And what kind of financial aid do they provide?
The current tuition cost at the University of Arizona (UA) varies depending on your residency status and the college/program you choose. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated undergraduate tuition and fees are as follows:
- For Arizona residents: $13,900 per year

Keep in mind that these figures are for tuition only and do not include other expenses such as housing, meal plans, textbooks, and personal expenses.
Regarding financial aid opportunities at the University of Arizona, they offer both need-based financial aid and merit scholarships for eligible students. To be considered for need-based financial aid, you should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible (starting October 1st) to maximize your eligibility for federal and state grants, work-study, and loans.
Merit scholarships at UA are awarded based on the student's outstanding academic and extracurricular achievements. These scholarships can range from partial to full tuition, and are highly competitive. It is important to review the scholarship criteria and apply by the priority deadline specified by UA.
In addition, you should also explore external scholarships and grants offered by various organizations, foundations, and companies. These can be found through scholarship search engines, local community organizations, and your high school's guidance office.
Remember to utilize the University of Arizona's Net Price Calculator on their website to get a more accurate estimate of your total cost of attendance, based on your specific financial situation and potential financial aid package.
