Cost of Attendance
Financial Aid
Higher education is an invaluable investment. Our goal is to make a UConn education affordable to each student selected for admission.
Our Office of Student Financial Aid Services is dedicated to helping you afford this opportunity, working with you and your family to help make UConn a reality. The cost to attend varies depending on each student’s personal financial situation. In addition to direct costs, indirect costs such as books, supplies, and transportation are taken into consideration when calculating financial need.
Types of Aid
Your financial aid offer will be tailored to your individual need. Offers typically include various forms of aid, such as scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study.
- All students are automatically considered for merit scholarships when they apply for admission.
- To be considered for other forms of aid, you must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) between October 1 and UConn’s on-time deadline of February 15 using school code 001417.
How to Receive Aid
If you have accepted admission to UConn and filled out your FAFSA, follow our Steps to Aid.
