Non-resident students who have earned an Arizona high school diploma or general education diploma and attended high school in Arizona for a minimum of three years while physically present in Arizona (the three years of Arizona high school attendance do not need to be consecutive) may be eligible for an undergraduate tuition rate equivalent to 150 percent times the in-state tuition rate, which means that instead of out-of-state tuition, you pay the in-state tuition rate plus half of the in-state tuition rate.
The student may qualify for the High School 150 tuition rate if they meet all the requirements below:
- They are an undergraduate student.
- They are not eligible for Arizona residency for tuition purposes.
- They have attended high school in Arizona for a minimum of three years while physically present in Arizona.
- They graduated from an Arizona high school (or attained the equivalent while physically present in Arizona for a minimum of three years).
Additional Information
- The Arizona High School 150 tuition rate applies only to undergraduate programs. This rate does not apply to differential tuition, or tuition for on-line, accelerated, or distributed programs.
- “High School” is defined as grades 9-12. Completion of the 9th grade while physically present in Arizona, whether at an Arizona middle school or high school or equivalent, will count toward the Arizona high school attendance requirement.
- The three years of Arizona high school attendance do not need to be consecutive.
- A student who meets the requirements of this policy will be eligible for the undergraduate tuition rate of 150 percent regardless of when the student graduated from an Arizona high school.
- The undergraduate tuition rate of 150 percent cannot be combined with Arizona Merit Scholarships.
