Tuition and paying for college

Ways to pay for college

When you get a college education, you are investing in yourself and your future. Don’t let the cost of tuition stop you from studying at the School of Interdisciplinary Forensics and pursuing your dream job. We think your education is well worth the investment and will pay off in the future.

Paying for college doesn’t have to be stressful. In addition to grants and student employment, New College students have many financial aid opportunities, including scholarships. Plus, some out-of-state students may qualify for reduced tuition through Western Undergraduate Exchange and the Western Regional Graduate Program. Financial aid includes federal pell grants and scholarships.

Regardless of your family income, we encourage all students to apply. You might be surprised at what you’re eligible to receive. Apply for financial aid as early as October 1 every year. The ASU FAFSA priority filing deadline is January 15.
