Cost of study: tuition and fees
Cost of study depends on whether you are classified as a resident or a non-resident of Arizona. The Registrar's Office sets the rules for determining your residency status. However, non-resident tuition is waived for students who hold graduate research and teaching assistantships. The department also has a limited amount of tuition and registration scholarship/waivers for the academic year.
For up to date information about current fees and tuition, visit the Bursar's Office website.
Costs and fees are outlined in the Grad College application.

Research and teaching assistantship funds are provided from state, federal, and private sources. Honorific Graduate College Fellowships carrying a stipend are awarded on a competitive basis to outstanding candidates. Graduate College Academic Scholarships paying registration fees are available each semester to qualified students.
Fellowships and Scholarships are available from the Evolutionary, Functional, and Computational Genomics IGERT, an NSF-funded graduate training program housed here in EEB. Many of our graduate students are currently funded by this IGERT.
