At the University of Rhode Island, we understand that in order to make a fully-informed decision about where to attend college, you need to learn as much about financing your education as you do about the opportunities our university offers.

For a complete listing of URI tuition and fees including graduate, per-credit, and more, please visit https://web.uri.edu/tuition-billing/tuition-and-fees/

All costs are estimated and do not include health insurance that may be waived.

You may file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) beginning October 1. Be sure to include the URI Federal School Code: 003414. 

We will begin to notify Early Action applicants of their decisions in mid-January, with rolling admission decisions after that (through end of March). Merit scholarship notification will be included in the acceptance package, and financial aid awards will be sent in early to mid-March.

Visit Enrollment Services and learn more about financial aid and definitions of the terminology you will encounter during the application process.
