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.

What Students Are Saying
ASU's tuition is actually pretty cheap and all sorts of things are added in the tuition so you do everything for free. you get the fitness center, food, admission to games, events, yearbooks, parking passes. and everything else you could imagine.
chelsea from Jonesboro, AR
The tuition is really cheap here at ASU compared to the two other major colleges in Arkansas (University of Arkansas and University of Central Arkansas), and the 'bang' you get for your buck greatly exceeds your buck! What you pay is small compared to what you get out of it.
Adam from Jonesboro, AR
ASU is pretty fairly priced. They accept many scholarships and really work with you on financial aid. They seem to really care about helping me get through college with as lest debt as possible.
Brooke from Cave City, AR
College is expensive. That's a fact. ASU is cheaper than some of the other colleges in the state. They offer many scholarships in any major. You just have to get out there and find them.
Samantha from Jonesboro, AR
Arkansas State University challenges the students academically but not financially since tuition are not as high comparing to other universities in the US. Several jobs are also available to students in order to support them in paying their bills and tuition. The ASU also provides its students with prestigious and valuable diplomas which allow them to compete in the job market.
Kaouthar from State University, AR
Going to A-state was one of the best decisions I have ever made. For a reasonable tuition cost, you receive exceptional academic instruction, a close-knit friendly community, and a platform for your career that no other institution in Arkansas will be able to give you.
Gina from Malvern, AR
Very reasonable tuition. Especially when one considers the quality of the education.
Cassidy from Jonesboro, AR
With the cheaper tuition, you certainly get a lot for what you pay for.
