Tuition calculator

That depends on your specific situation. At ASU, online tuition and fees are closely aligned with campus tuition and fees. We recommend using the tuition calculator to estimate your costs and working with a financial aid advisor to determine what you’ll invest to earn your degree.

Financial aid is money that can help you cover education expenses such as tuition, books and course fees. Explore financial aid.

• Federal aid: A need-based form of aid dependent on your income, background and other qualifications. You must be a U.S. citizen and submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) every year to receive federal aid.
• Grants: Grants are free gifts of money that do not need to be repaid.
• Loans: Loans are money you borrow and must pay back with interest.
• Scholarships: Another form of free financial aid, scholarships may be need-based or merit-based. Everyone, including international students, may apply.
• Employer tuition benefits: Our corporate partnerships, including Starbucks, Uber and more, support their employees with tuition assistance or reimbursement programs. Connect with your employer to ask about any existing options.
• Military benefits: If you’re a veteran, active-duty service member or dependent, you may be eligible for benefits such as tuition assistance or scholarships.
• Transfer credit: Transferring college credits to ASU can lower your tuition costs, as you won’t have to pay for credits you’ve already earned.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is an application you fill out to determine your eligibility for financial aid, such as federal grants and loans. 

You must submit the FAFSA every year if you want to receive federal aid. Most U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens will receive aid if they demonstrate financial need. Completing the application helps make college more affordable by providing assistance based on your specific financial situation. Learn more about the FAFSA.
