Common Q: My PSA Award was disbursed, but I still have a remaining base tuition balance.

Students oftentimes may see an unpaid balance on their "Tuition UG Resident/Non-Resident" line even after the PSA Award has been disbursed and applied to the account.

This is due to the ASU payment system not being able to allocate scholarships/grants/payments towards a specific line of charge. Thus, awards may be applied to lines of changes outside of base tuition such as fees/meal plans/housing, etc.

To see whether your PSA award amount is correct, please follow the guide below:

Base Tuition for in-state students this year is $5,739 per semester.

Base Tuition for out-of-state students this year is $16,197 per semester.

Please note that awards may differ for each student and are calculated using the following formula:

ASU's base tuition - Other University Scholarships = PSA Award

To see what your base tuition is, log into MyASU.
Click on Finances at the top left toolbar, then scroll down to Fall 2024 Awards*.
Consider any ASU scholarships/grants/waivers you are receiving from ASU and subtract those from your base tuition to calculate your PSA award.

Example:

The student below is receiving $4800 from New American and is an in-state student looks like this:
$5,739 (Base Tuition) - $4,800 (New American) = $939 (PSA Award)

*Note that the awards section will include all scholarships, grants, and waivers, both internal and external, as well as FAFSA loans. The only lines to be factored into your PSA award calculation are internal awards, meaning funds coming from ASU.

**Note that we do not have an exhaustive list of all ASU awards/grants. If you are uncertain of the origin of your scholarships, please reach out to the financial aid office for clarification.
