Cost
The same school, two different prices
Family income under $30k: $15,193/yr · Family income over $110k: $33,797/yr (AY 2023–24)
Average paid by students receiving federal aid, by family income (College Scorecard). In-state students only. International students are not eligible for U.S. federal aid, so they are not in this cohort and typically pay closer to the sticker price.
High-income families typically pay closer to sticker.
Aid for international students
University of Connecticut awarded institutional aid to 620 international undergraduates, averaging $17,282 (2024-2025 Common Data Set).
These figures describe only the international students who actually received aid — not what a typical international admit can expect. International students outside this group pay the full sticker price.

How to read these numbers
- The 2024 rate covers University of Connecticut's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
- 1210–1440 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1210, and a quarter scored above 1440.
- The table above holds 12 reported years, 2013 through 2024. Across them University of Connecticut's rate ranged from 47.8% to 56.1%, so any single year is one point inside that range.
Each figure above describes a class a school already admitted in a completed cycle. It is a record of who was admitted, not a measurement of any one application.
