2023-24 AWARD YEAR COST OF ATTENDANCE

The 2023-2024 Cost of Attendance below is used to determine eligibility for federal funding. Students may not receive funding more than their total Cost of Attendance. The Cost of Attendance includes both Direct Costs and Indirect Costs. The Direct Costs are those cost items billed directly to the student’s account, such as tuition and fees. The Indirect Costs are those cost items not billed directly to the student’s account; however, these amounts are estimates of expenses that a student may have while attending NAU and may be included when determining financial aid eligibility. Students should be aware that student loan borrowing may be limited by annual student loan limits, aggregate loan limits and/or federal need.

NAU encourages the use of grant aid first and supplemented with self-help aid in the form of educational loan programs. This philosophy should reduce the student loan burden and possible default of federal student loans. In addition, NAU encourages all students to borrow for expected Direct Costs only. For more information, see Federal Financial Aid.

The Cost of Attendance example below, reflects the estimated costs for an incoming undergraduate first-year student who plans to attend part-time. In general, NAU undergraduate students do not attend full-time. Cost of Attendance varies by program, degree level and tuition rates.
