Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

AWC has a changing tuition every year. But it provides help for every student to achieve their educational plan.
Iliana from Yuma, AZ
For me, this college is not that expensive compared to others. My parents paid for this years tuition. As for the books and other supplies, I am hoping I can get some scholarships to help my pay for everything else I need.
Margaret from Somerton, AZ
While the school books are in my opinion very expensive, according to my husband that is common any place you go. I can't speak for the cost of the dorms, but the cost of tuition is very reasonable, and if your planning on continuing your education and getting a bachelors degree, then starting at AWC would be very worthwhile.
Ruby from Yuma, AZ
Low cost compared to universities, and get your general education.
David from Yuma, AZ
tuition is much less than universities and class sizes are much smaller, seems like a better deal to me!
