How to Lower your College Costs
Very few of our students pay the full price of a UToledo education.
Over 90% of new UToledo students receive scholarships or other state and federal aid.
There are many ways to decrease your costs and get financial aid. We outline many of them in your next steps. One of the easiest is to get good grades.
We award merit scholarships to students with outstanding academic records. All you have to do is apply for admission by the merit scholarship deadline and submit all required documentation. If you qualify, you automatically receive a merit scholarship.
How much can I earn in merit aid?
Merit Scholarships (Per Year): High school seniors who have earned at least a 3.0 high school GPA and complete their admission application by December 15 will receive priority consideration for a renewable merit-scholarship between $1,250 and $6,000. For applications submitted after the Dec. 15 priority consideration deadline, merit scholarships will be offered as funds are available. No separate application, essays or recommendation letters are required. ACT and SAT scores will not be considered when awarding merit scholarships.
*This scholarship information reflects amounts for students beginning in Summer 2025, Fall 2025, or Spring 2026.
International awards differ. If you're a new international undergraduate student, learn more about international scholarships.
Do you live out of state?
Most out-of-state students pay an out-of-state tuition surcharge of $9,360 a year. Depending on your GPA, you may be eligible for additional scholarship to help offset that surcharge.
GPA 3.0 and above
Rocket Nation Scholarship

The $8,000 Rocket Nation Scholarship helps offset the out-of-state surcharge for out-of-state students. Residents of Monroe County, Mich., are considered in-state students.
Our Tuition Guarantee helps you budget
The tuition you pay your first year as an undergrad will be the same tuition you pay in Year 4 with our Tuition Guarantee. Your on-campus housing and meal plan rates won’t change from Year 1 to Year 4, either. Guaranteed.
The Tuition Guarantee may not apply to you if you previously attended UToledo and are transferring back. It all depends on when you were last a student here.
