Sample Budget

To assist you in estimating your educational expenses, a sample budget is provided as a planning guide. This budget includes educational and living expenses for independent students. Living expenses may vary considerably from student to student depending on preferred lifestyle choices.  Sample budget amounts and estimated first year costs may differ from cost of attendance for financial aid purposes.  Over 75% of full-time students are eligible for the resident rate or less through our generous scholarship program.

*NOTE: All amounts shown in the Tuition and Fees Schedules or in other University publications or web pages represent tuition and fees as currently approved.  However, Arizona State University reserves the right to increase or modify tuition and fees without prior notice, upon approval by the Arizona Board of Regents or as otherwise consistent with Board policy and to make such modifications applicable to students enrolled at ASU at that time as well as to incoming students.  In addition, all tuition amounts and fees are subject to change at any time for correction of errors.  Finally, please note that fee amounts billed for any period may be adjusted at a future date.
