The cost of attending UConn Stamford depends heavily on Connecticut residency, housing, course load, and financial aid. For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was reported as $17,010 for Connecticut residents and $39,678 for nonresidents. Reported required fees were $1,140 for either group.
Those tuition-and-fee totals are not a complete annual cost of attendance. A commuter's transportation and living costs will differ from a residential student's, and published housing charges may not describe the particular Stamford accommodation a student selects. Use UConn's cost-of-attendance budget for the applicable academic year rather than adding charges from different years or campuses.
Financial aid changes the amount a student may ultimately pay. Reported average net prices - cost after grant and scholarship aid - for families earning $48,000 or less were approximately $11,792; for families earning $48,001-$75,000, approximately $16,052. These are historical averages, not aid offers. In the reported aid data, 82% of students received some form of financial aid and 35% used student loans. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Connecticut aid, and UConn scholarships through the applicable aid applications and deadlines; veterans may also have education-benefit options.
UConn Stamford students can look for part-time student jobs and career support through UConn's university-wide resources and campus opportunities. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial aid award that permits eligible students to earn wages in approved jobs; it is not an upfront discount on tuition or a guarantee of employment.
Students interested in Work-Study should complete the required financial aid application, review their aid offer, and apply for available positions. Other campus jobs may not require a Work-Study award. UConn's career resources also support career exploration, résumés, interview preparation, and searches for internships and employment. An internship is distinct from Work-Study: its academic-credit rules, pay, and selection process depend on the position and program. Downtown Stamford's employers may expand the range of nearby opportunities, but students still need to apply and meet employer requirements.
