ASU Tuition Breakdown

Hi all, I'm thinking about applying to Arizona State University but I'm a bit stuck on how much their tuition is. Can anyone give me an estimate or guide me to where I could find this information?

Sure, I can help with that! The tuition at Arizona State University (ASU) can vary quite a bit depending on whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student, which campus you're attending, and your chosen major.

As of the 2024-25 academic year, the estimated tuition and fees for a full-time undergraduate student at the main campus (Tempe) is about $14,000 per year for Arizona residents, $32,000 for out-of-state students, and $32,000 for international students.

However, remember that these are just the tuition costs. You'll also need to factor in additional costs such as housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses. These can significantly increase the overall cost of attending ASU.

On the ASU website, they have a tuition estimator which can help give you a more personalized estimate on what you could expect to pay. It takes into account factors like residency status, campus, and specific program of study.

Keep in mind that the majority of students do not pay the full sticker price for college. Depending on your family's financial situation, you might be eligible for need-based grants or scholarships. ASU also offers merit-based scholarships which can significantly reduce the cost.

Be sure to fill out the FAFSA as soon as possible to see what sort of federal aid you might be eligible for. Starting with the 2024-2025 FAFSA, the EFC (Expected Family Contribution) has been replaced by the SAI (Student Aid Index). The SAI can be as low as negative $1,500, which could increase the amount of aid you're eligible for.

In conclusion, the cost of attending ASU will largely depend on your personal circumstances, but there are many resources available to help make education more affordable.
