Scholarships
The true cost of attending UA is often lower because we award tens of millions in scholarship aid annually. We offer the Akron Guarantee Scholarship, which increases in value as you earn credits, and a fixed tuition guarantee (see details lower on this page).
* SCHOLARSHIP FOR NON-OHIO RESIDENTS
Non-Ohio residents with a 3.0+ GPA and 20 ACT or 1020 SAT would receive the Akron Advantage Award for $3,000 immediately. They would also receive the Akron Guarantee Scholarship to further reduce costs. See details.
** The University offers many housing and dining options. The room-and-board charges are estimated using mid-range costs for housing and the most popular meal plan (board), providing two meals a day. See housing and dining options.
Non-resident surcharge is $1 per credit hour for students enrolled in online degrees and/or certificates (online courses only)
