Good news! ASU has many financial aid options to help you reach your academic goals. Almost everyone, regardless of income, can qualify for some form of financial aid. In fact, ASU expects to award nearly half a billion in all forms of financial aid to ASU students in the 2007-08 school year.

The first step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), an online form the federal government administers. Your financial need is calculated by subtracting the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from your Cost of Attendance (COA). ASU then tries to meet as much of your need as possible.
