The cost of your tuition depends how many credits you are taking per semester. The more credits you take in one semester, the less each credit hour costs. As part of the Utah State Higher Education system, in-state and out-of-state tuition rates apply.

*College of Engineering Differential Tuition fees for 2025-26 Academic Year. Subject to change.
Undergraduate Engineering courses include a differential tuition fee of $68.80 per credit.
Graduate Engineering differential tuition fee is $98.38 per credit hour.
Undergraduate students are eligible for loans and scholarships through the University Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. Since Robotics falls under the Price College of Engineering, students would be eligible for some Engineering scholarships. Most are undergraduate scholarships but a few are awarded to graduate students each year.
Graduate students are eligible for departmental funding (see Graduate Funding tab).

The Robotics program is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and the Kahlert School of Computing. All Robotics Faculty have their primary appointment in one of those three departments and any funding offered to you will come from the faculty or department.
Financial support comes in three basic forms:
- Department fellowship: If you are admitted with a fellowship, you are supported by the department during your first semester.
- Research assistantship (RA): You are paid to work for a faculty member in a research lab.
- Teaching assistantship (TA): You are paid in order to help support a course, for example running lab sections, grading homework, and doing office hours.
Full RA or TA support requires 20 hours a week of effort. Full RA and TA students are eligible for a tuition waiver called Tuition Benefit. The Tuition Benefit will cover full tuition & mandatory fees, which can be as much as $32k per year, assuming 12 credits per semester at the non-resident rate. Engineering Differential Tuition of around $98.38 per credit hour is not included in all offers.
Each semester, enrolled students will be required to submit a form to register for the Tuition Benefits Program (TBP). You must be accepted to the PhD or Masters program to qualify. The Robotics Graduate Student Coordinator will send out this form about a month prior to the start of the semester.
PhD students in the Robotics PhD program may receive financial support while they are in the program, conditional on good progress. Refer to departmental specific funding guidelines:
Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
Department of Mechanical Engineering
Kahlert School of Computing
MS students have the opportunity to apply for teaching assistantships (TA) with the departments or approach individual faculty members about research assistantships (RA). Typically a thesis master's student will receive some type of funding from their faculty supervisor. Funding is typically not available for students completing a non-thesis master's, but they can still apply for TA positions and approach faculty about RA positions.
Graduate Subsidized Health Insurance Plan (GSHIP) – TBP-supported students working in assistantships (RA, TA) may be eligible for subsidized health insurance (medical, dental, and vision), with premiums subsidized 100% by the institution. Dependents and partners are not covered financially, but may be added to student's individual plan.
