All About Money

One of America's 100 Best College Buys® for 17 consecutive years, UNT offers the quality of a private university at an affordable cost. The estimated 2012-13 cost for two semesters of 9 graduate semester credit hours each is $6,702 for Texas residents and $13,020 for nonresidents (plus additional instructional fees).

We invest in our students, offering more than 1,000 fellowships and assistantships, which include health benefits. Academic departments offer nationally competitive scholarships, and the graduate school also provides funding as well as opportunities to develop professional and academic skills.

Tips for paying for your graduate education:

  1. Submit all program application materials by Dec. 1 for maximum eligibility for UNT fellowships the following fall semester. Always check with the department for specific program deadlines.
  2. Ask your academic department about fellowships, assistantships and scholarships. Early contact improves your chances to receive available funding.
  3. File the FAFSA form for state and federal financial aid, including student loans. Apply by March 15 to receive priority consideration for the fall semester.
  4. Research local and national funding opportunities.
