College Cost Comparison Tool

Please note

• Scholarships from outside private sources (employers, community organizations, scholarship donors, veteran benefits, etc.) can reduce the amount of aid you receive from other sources. ASU makes every effort to reduce student loans and work-study first.
• The federal government requires each school to develop its own standard allowances for living expenses (i.e., books/supplies, room, board, transportation and personal) as a means to award financial aid in a consistent manner for all students.
• While personal and transportation expenses are not part of your direct costs calculated here, you will need to consider these costs for the academic year and how you will budget for them.
• We have provided this tool as a means for you and your family to investigate the different costs that may be associated with attending ASU. ASU’s standard allowance for some expenses may not match your actual costs, depending on your personal choices. To maximize your financial aid, it is important to make wise decisions regarding living arrangements and lifestyle, because ASU cannot award more financial aid in an academic year than the determined standard allowances.
• Room and board rates are representative for a typical student, and actual rates may be higher or lower. Follow the links provided to see detailed rate information.
• If you have other expenses (e.g., unexpected medical, childcare or additional course costs; computer purchase; change of housing), you may request a review of your expenses by submitting a Student Review form to Financial Aid and Scholarship Services. Not all expenses may be approved.
