*The UA Flinn Tuition Scholarship fills in the gap from the offered UA Merit Tuition Scholarship and cost of tuition (including differential program costs) and mandatory fees. This award does not cover course fees. The amount will vary based on the student’s UA Merit Tuition Scholarship and cost of tuition and fees. Please note that if a student's UA Merit Tuition Scholarship is fully covering the cost of tuition and mandatory fees, the UA Flinn Tuition Scholarship will not be applied to the student's account.
