Cost and Scholarships
Scholarships and Financial Aid
We believe world-class analytics education shouldn't be cost-prohibitive and we put real money behind that commitment.
Automatic Merit-Based Scholarships: Full and Part-time Students admitted to the Chandler program for the 2026–27 academic year are automatically considered for scholarships based on residency with no separate application required. Arizona residents receive $5,000 and non-resident and international students receive $11,000. A limited number of additional merit-based scholarships may also be awarded based on the strength of your overall profile.
Student Worker Positions: While the Chandler program does not offer graduate assistantships, a limited number of paid student worker positions are available each year. These roles provide valuable professional experience alongside your studies and can help offset program costs. These competitive roles are typically filled at the beginning of the fall semester.
Scholarship Universe: Beyond program-level awards, admitted students gain access to Scholarship Universe, the University of Arizona's scholarship-matching platform. It connects Wildcats to millions of dollars in internal and external scholarships, many of which go unclaimed each year simply because students don't know about them.
Employer Tuition Reimbursement: If you're currently employed, check whether your company offers tuition reimbursement or professional development funding. This is especially relevant for part-time students balancing work and coursework. Some of our students offset a significant portion of their tuition through employer-sponsored benefits. Our admissions team can provide documentation to support your reimbursement request.
Federal and Private Financial Aid: Most U.S. students are eligible for federal loans, and international students may qualify for private lending options. The University of Arizona's Office of Student Financial Aid can help you navigate what's available and build a plan that works for your situation.
