Merit Scholarship Deadlines
You may also qualify for a merit-based scholarship based on your academic performance. Each merit scholarship has its own eligibility requirements and deadlines. For instance, when you are applying for Arizona Bridge, which features a $2,000 renewable scholarship for eligible transfer students, you should be at least one year away from transferring to Arizona.
Paying Tuition
Tuition is paid through the University of Arizona Bursar’s Office. After you’re admitted and have enrolled, you can access your account balance through UAccess. Visit the Bursar's website for specific tuition dates, deadlines, the last day to receive a refund, and more.
