## Tuition and other costs

University
can
be
an
expensive
but
manageable
undertaking
if
you
have
a
realistic
financial
plan
in
place
before
you
begin
your
studies.
In
the
first
eight
months
of
study
(two
terms),
you
will
want
to
consider
some
of
the
following
costs:

- [first-year
  tuition
  rates
  (domestic
  and
  international
  students)](https://uwaterloo.ca/future-students/financing/tuition)
- [housing
  or
  residence](https://uwaterloo.ca/future-students/residence)
- meals
- books
- transportation
  and
  entertainment

Try
the [interactive
budget
calculator](https://uwaterloo.ca/future/budget) to
help
estimate
your
first-year
costs.

## Finance your education

You
may
be
eligible
to
receive
scholarships,
bursary,
or
Ontario
Student
Assistance
Program
(OSAP)
support
to
help
offset
your
study
costs.
Financial
aid
is
based
on
the
results
of

marks,
application,
and/or
contest
results.
