Cost of Attendance

Your education is an important investment in your life. The University of Montana works hard to provide as many students as possible with scholarships and financial aid (more than 67 percent receive aid), but students and their families need to be informed of the cost of attending UM.

Though the actual cost will vary by the choices you make (such as housing and meal plans), here is an estimate for the total cost of attendance at The University of Montana as a full time student (09-10 Academic Year):
