What is the cost of studying for a year at Universal Technical Institute-Canton?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Universal Technical Institute-Canton was $17,835, with $330 in required fees. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These figures describe a published academic-year charge, not necessarily the full price of a particular program.

  • Reported 2024-25 full-time tuition: $17,835.
  • Reported 2024-25 required fees: $330.
  • Tuition plus those required fees: $18,165; living expenses, transportation, and other applicable costs are additional.

Program length and billing schedule are crucial: a student should request a current, itemized estimate covering the entire intended program, including required tools, books, supplies, examination charges, and living expenses. An annual tuition figure should not be mistaken for a program-total quote.

Financial aid changes what a student may pay, but aid is not all free money. In the 2024-25 figures, 90% of students received financial aid and 35% had student loans. Average grant aid awarded to undergraduates was $7,766. Reported average net price for students from families earning up to $48,000 was $21,958; net price reflects estimated attendance costs after grant aid and is not a tuition-only bill or an individual offer.

Eligible students may be able to use federal grants, loans, applicable state assistance, scholarships, or military education benefits. Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and reviewing the school's individualized aid offer will show which forms of assistance are actually available. Compare grants and scholarships separately from loans that must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Universal Technical Institute-Canton?

Students considering paid work while attending Universal Technical Institute-Canton should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study, a need-based aid program that requires eligibility and an available position. A financial aid offer, rather than the school's general aid participation, is the place to check whether a student has a Work-Study award.

Applicants should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study positions are offered for their program and start date, how jobs are posted, and whether work hours can fit around required labs. Employer recruitment or career placement assistance is a separate service; neither is the same as a paid student job.
