understanding your college costs

When you go to college, there are different costs involved—like tuition, books, housing, and transportation. These are called your educational expenses. Colleges use these expenses to create a budget for each student. That budget helps decide how much financial aid (like grants, scholarships, or loans) you can get.

Estimate Your Cost of Attendance

To get an accurate estimate, you’ll first need to know if you’re considered a dependent or independent student. This affects how your financial aid is calculated—and which chart below applies to you.

Not sure which one you are?
The Federal Student Aid office has a quick guide to help you figure it out. Find out your status here.

The cost of attendance (COA) is the cornerstone of establishing a student's financial need, as it sets the limit on the total aid that a student may receive. 

*Cost of attendance may vary based on student enrollment each term.
