Your financial aid award is based on your financial need, which is determined by your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). More than 80 percent of new (U.S. first-year) students entering in fall 2024 qualified for financial aid based on need.
The Office of Student Financial Services establishes a standard cost of attendance budget to calculate your estimated educational costs. This represents typical costs for students during the nine-month academic year based on anticipated enrollment, dependency status, and living arrangements (on-campus, off-campus or with parents).
Food estimates are based on 21 meals per week. On-campus food plans vary.
These budgets represent estimated average costs for undergraduate students attending full time during the academic year.
Your actual costs may vary depending on your course load, housing arrangements, course fees, and individual circumstances.
