Utah Valley University

Overview of Utah Valley University (UVU)

---

If you do travel to Utah to handle information with the university that you need to deal with in-person, you might also want to take some time to travel around and take in the natural beauty. The mountain peaks covered with snow are a sight that draws visitors’ eyes well into the spring. While you’re visiting, you might want to go to Mount Timpanogos Park, where you can spend some time in the beauty of nature.

The student-to-faculty ratio is 22 to 1. However, since enrollment is online only, your professors or TAs will only be an e-mail away. The student population is 39,931 and only 534 of those students are in master’s programs.

UVU Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

When you look at the total cost of everything you’re going to pay for one year at Utah Valley University, you’re going to be looking at the in-state or out-of-state tuition, books, supplies, rent and utilities (remember, this university does not have on-campus housing but that may not matter if you will be living at home while you attend), and other charges (such as entertainment). This total cost is around $17,588.

Your financial aid may be able to cover a large part of this total cost. What is left after financial aid is applied is called the average net price, which for a recent academic year was $8,267. More financial aid is available to those families with a lower income, so they often end up paying a lower amount for their total.

Freshmen students who applied for financial aid included about 74% of the entire student body. About 2,357 students (65%) were awarded an average of $5,010 in grants and scholarships and 1,561 (43%) received an average of $3,810 in institutional grants and scholarships.
