Estimate what your family would pay

Every school is required to publish a net price calculator. It asks about your family's finances and returns an estimate for you specifically, which is worth more than any average on this page. Your school counselor and the college's financial aid office can also help.

Scholarships and merit aid

ASU's Common Data Set confirms non-need-based institutional aid is available to nonresidents (averaging roughly $12,700 per awarded student), and ASU is well known for large automatic New American University merit scholarships tied to GPA and test scores.
