As with determining your transfer credits, assessing the cost of your program is a highly individualized process. And at UOPX, enrollment representatives will help prospective students find a way to save as much as possible. (UOPX alone offers 10 different ways to save time and/or money!)
UOPX is competitively priced compared to other universities. Here are some other ideas to lower your overall costs. Learn more through the University of Phoenix tuition comparison chart: phoenix.edu/tuition-financial-aid/tuition-fees.html
There are also misconceptions around who’s eligible for financial aid, Gloor says. Some loans are not based on income, for example. Scholarships are available at UOPX and elsewhere. And for those students who do have demonstrable financial need, the Federal Pell Grant is an option.
At UOPX, scholarship opportunities are expanding. Beginning with a student’s first course, every qualifying new student will be awarded a scholarship, regardless of one’s financial situation or GPA. New and transfer students, in fact, can each apply for a scholarship worth up to $3,000.
UOPX is committed to making education affordable for its students in other ways, too. While education costs, for example, rise an average of 2.6% every year, UOPX offers fixed tuition, meaning students pay a flat rate from the moment they enroll to the day they graduate.
Another way to save money? Employer benefits. UOPX has formed alliances with multiple organizations to offer affordable education and tuition assistance is sometimes available from certain companies. Additionally, alternative credit providers such as Study.com offer students the option to earn transferrable credits.
