Arizona State University Tuition Commitment Program

As students anticipate increased tuition rates at the university, ASU strongly encourages them to sign up for the Maricopa-ASU Pathways Program (MAPP) this spring semester. Doing so can potentially save students hundreds of dollars in tuition.

How does it work? There is no cost to sign up for the MAPP. While students are at the community college, they will pay community college tuition and fees. While students are at ASU, they will pay university tuition and fees. Maricopa students who participate in MAPP are also eligible for a special tuition program at ASU called the Tuition Commitment Program, which helps Arizona resident students and their families better plan for financing their college education by limiting the tuition increases that will occur during completion of a bachelor’s degree.  Tuition at ASU varies by campus location, residency, and other factors. For additional information about the Tuition Commitment, please visit: http://students.asu.edu/tuition/commitment.

The previous process was limited to Maricopa Honors students and included an application, essays, and subjective criteria along with deadline dates.
