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.
Merit-Based Scholarships: Every applicant is automatically reviewed for scholarship consideration. Awards are based on the strength of your overall profile, including GPA, work experience, and the quality of your application materials. Applications completed by round 2 receive priority consideration, so the sooner you apply, the stronger your position for the most competitive awards.
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.
