ATSU's annual cost varies by program and campus. The 2024-25 IPEDS figures report the same average full-time graduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students, but an applicant's actual bill should be based on the current tuition schedule for the intended degree.
Tuition and required fees are not the total cost of attendance. Students may also need to budget for rent, food, books and equipment, health insurance, transportation, and travel or relocation for clinical training. Some professional programs have additional program-specific charges. A financial aid cost-of-attendance budget estimates eligible educational expenses, but it is not necessarily the amount billed by ATSU or what a particular student will spend.
Eligible graduate students generally finance study through a combination of savings, scholarships, and federal loans, subject to current federal rules. Institutional scholarships and military education benefits may help eligible students, but awards vary. Applicants should compare a current program-level tuition schedule and aid offer with the full length of the degree, rather than multiplying one reported annual average without checking for tuition changes or additional terms.
Student employment may help with living expenses at ATSU, but it should be planned around the attendance demands of a professional program. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is an aid-supported job opportunity - not a grant paid without work and not a guarantee of a position.
Eligibility and any award amount depend on the student's aid review and available funding; completing the FAFSA is the usual starting point for consideration for federal student aid. Students can ask ATSU's financial aid office how to find approved positions and whether their program's schedule permits the expected hours. Ordinary part-time employment is separate from Federal Work-Study, while a required clinical placement may be an academic obligation rather than a paid job.
For career development, students should look to their individual school's advising and clinical education staff for profession-specific guidance, such as preparation for residency, licensure, or a first professional role. Those services should be evaluated separately from claims about employment outcomes.
