The cost of a graduate course at UNT is calculated on the basis of tuition, related fees, and the number of course credits, and is subject to change.  In the fall of 2007, the tuition cost per online course is estimated to be approximately $1139 for in-state students ($939 tuition + $200 distance learning fee) and $1716 for out-of-state students.

A complete list and explanation of UNT fees can be found on the Student Accounting page.


Scholarships and Financial Aid

Loans and Grants
Be sure to check with both the UNT Financial Aid Office and the Student Accounting Office when applying for financial assistance. The Financial Aid Office recommends that students fill out their FAFSA early and apply for loans or grants by April 15 for the following fall semester. Please note that if you are applying for the late department admission deadline of May 1, you will definitely be too late to receive a loan for summer (if you need to take the leveling course), and you may also be too late to receive fall financial aid. Financial aid counselors are available to answer your questions by email or phone; see the Financial Aid Office’s website for more details.

Department Scholarships
The Anthropology Department has a limited number of scholarships of $1,000 each. The Graduate Committee will decide on scholarship nominees based on first year status and academic achievement; the faculty will then vote. This scholarship will qualify the student for in-state tuition. Online students must take a minimum of 6 hours per semester.

Online Scholarship Application
This application is for Anthropology Department Scholarships and Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Tuition Scholarships. All other scholarship inquiries must be directed to the sponsoring program.
