Tuition costs, financial aid, and payment options
Tuition costs
How much will college cost? Tuition and related fees are based on a lot of things, including whether you are a full-time resident of Maricopa County, the academic year, the type of courses you take, and other factors. Learn more about tuition and how to estimate your costs.
Your payment options
No matter which of our colleges you attend, there are lots of ways to pay your tuition and fees, including online, in person, and monthly payment plans. And if you get financial aid, that money automatically goes toward what you owe on your tuition, fees, and your books advance.
Get help paying for college
More than a third of all students receive some type of aid to help them pay for college. Be sure you explore financial aid early, so you don’t miss the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the colleges’ priority filing date deadlines. Plus, it can take 6-8 weeks to receive your aid once you complete the form. Our helpful financial aid staff can get you started.
Don’t miss out on the chance for free money for college. Scholarships are financial awards given to students based on certain application criteria.
Students are eligible for grants due to financial need, as well as being merit-based. Federal grants are not required to be paid back.
