Special note to UW and State of WA employees pursuing graduate coursework:

For several years, the UW has had a Tuition Exemption Program, which enables UW and State of WA employees to have tuition waived for up to six credit hours when enrollment is on a space-available basis.

Effective winter quarter 2013, the Tuition Exemption Program is available only to non-matriculated (NM) and graduate non-matriculated (GNM) students in the College of Education. Matriculated students — including matriculated students enrolled in other schools/colleges — will not be permitted to use the tuition exemption.

For complete information, please review this policy statement. 

Other Expenses

The Office of Student Financial Aid has prepared estimates of living expenses (e.g. room, board, transportation, etc.) for U.S. students; International Student Services has prepared similar estimates for international students. We encourage you to review these estimates as you plan for your education.

  • Estimated living expenses for U.S. graduate students
  • Estimated living expenses for U.S. undergraduate students
  • Estimated living expenses for international students

Office of Student Financial Aid

The UW Office of Student Financial Aid is the primary source of financial assistance for most students. The UW requires students to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be qualified for federal financial aid programs.

Additional Funding Resources

The Graduate School’s Office of Fellowships and Assistantships Calendar publicizes upcoming deadlines and additional information.

The Graduate Opportunity and Minority Achievement Program (GO-MAP) administers funding programs for diverse students.

The Graduate Funding Information Service (GFIS) offers workshops, blog posts, and individual consultations to help guide admitted graduate students, explaining the available print and online resources.

The Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships, and Awards provides information and resources to help students learn about scholarship and fellowship searches and application processes.

University of washington out of state tuition after aid

The University of Washington is No. 7 for education on the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects list for 2020.

Your student cost of attendance is the amount of money we estimate you will need for tuition, books, and living expenses for the nine-month academic year (October-June).  It is based on surveys of students’ costs, comparisons with other schools, input from housing and transportation agencies, and it reflects cost-of-living changes. Your COA attendance is a budgeting tool to help students and parents anticipate the cost associated with going to college. 

Student costs can include only the student's educational costs; other family members' expenses cannot be included in the budget.  The figures below are subject to change each academic year.

Students may submit a revision request form to have additional costs (childcare, uninsured medical/dental costs for the student, etc.) included in their individual budgets. Please contact our office for a revision request. 

For detailed tuition rates, consult the tuition rates page.

Definitions

Resident / Non-Resident: The University of Washington is a state-assisted institution, tuition rates are lower for Washington-resident students than for nonresidents, including both out-of-state and international students. Information about residency is provided on the Office Registrar website.

Non-traditional: All graduate/professional students; undergraduates who have children; married undergraduates whose spouses are not also enrolled.  Registered same-sex domestic partners may request consideration for additional living costs and will need to provide information about their partners’ financial resources when they make the request.

Room and board: This figure is intended to include food, utilities and housing.

Does University of Washington give full ride?

We believe that finances should not be a barrier for talented students to earn a UW degree at any of our three campuses — Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma. With the Husky Promise, the UW guarantees to cover the full cost of tuition and standard fees for qualified students who otherwise could not afford to attend.

Is there a way around paying out of state tuition?

Apply for a tuition reciprocity agreement Tuition reciprocity agreements, also known as tuition exchange programs, are programs that allow students to attend an out-of-state college within their region without paying out-of-state tuition. Eligibility requirements vary from agreement to agreement.

How can I get free tuition in Washington state?

An eligible student from a family of four with income of $64,500 or less per year would get a full award. What does that mean? For example, public college tuition would likely be free for a family with three children and a single parent making $28 per hour. For middle-income families, grant amounts are lower.
