Access your future.

We believe income should never get in the way of education. That’s why we’ve had the lowest tuition and fee increases in the state of Tennessee over the past five years. More than 90% of our full-time freshmen receive financial aid, and once enrolled, are supported through various ACCESS MEMPHIS programs, dedicated to helping keep them in school and meet their educational goals. Because at UofM, we’re all about forward progress.

More than 50 percent of first-time freshmen at the University of Memphis are eligible for Federal Pell Grants. Last year, 86 percent of these students had their tuition and fees fully covered by Pell, Hope Scholarship and UofM institutional aid.
