Overall, about 85% of ASU students receive some form of financial aid.

In addition to excellent academics, Angelo State offers students a multitude of opportunities for individual growth and social engagement. Student organizations, fraternities and sororities, intramural/club sports, and numerous campus events and activities ensure that students can pursue their personal interests, enhance their social and cultural understanding, and enjoy their time as part of the Ram Fam.
